Nutty but Fun

New Jobs are always overwhelming at first. This one's no different. I imagine it will take me another month or so before I stop feeling like I'm continually several steps behind, and I can start leading my group, rather than pulling along projects while running after things and figuring them out.

Yet, oddly enough, despite the hectic pace and the newness insanity, I love the change. Maybe it's the energy of the place, maybe it's the change of scenery, maybe it's just getting out of an old rut. Maybe it's the knowledge that I can definitely contribute in this place. It doesn't matter, it's good to feel this way.

Still, it will be good to get over this initial work phase, to have more time for leisure & family activities. With such a cute boy, who wouldn't want to spend time with him. Here's the munchkin with his new fireengine, a gift from his aunt.



Last weekend was also Kevin's second birthday. He is growing up to be quite the little man. Gone are the days of our baby-boy. Good morning the advent of the little lad. He is funny too. He's discovered that he can grin, not just laugh, and he does this often when he considers something amusing or naughty, he'll look at us and grin. Just like he did on Saturday when he was eating birthday cake with 2 forks....yummy
