You all were so kind to me last week with all my ramblings and combining of things. There are no words to thank you - really, it was just what I needed.
I am happy to report that I am not yet behind on schoolwork and that I am still loving my new job. The only thing that was still rough was that I wasn't spending enough time with the boys. Because when a two year old is calling to listen to you on your voicemail message, you know that things could stand to be improved.
I don't have it all figured out yet, but I sure am trying.
But last week things finally fell into a better place -- the weather was amazing, and I got to spend some quality time with the boys; time that was every bit as much for me as it was for them! And we got to spend a little time with our favorite friends too - Sarah, Jacob, and Ben (or, as we refer to them, SJB). And while it might have just been a 30 minute trip to the park, the excellent quality MORE than made up for the lacking in quantity.
And these are my favorite shots from last week -- the pure joy of a little quality time.

Balancing work and kids time is so difficult to figure out. My 3 year old always wants to talk to me when I'm at work too. :) Your park pictures are adorable. I love all those happy faces racing around together. Very cute.
I feel like I am always trying to figure out how to balance it all. I can't imagine going to school on top of all of it. It looks like everyone had a blast. They look like they are having so much fun.
I really can feel the fun and joy pouring out of those moments! Kudos to you for figuring out how to balance all your new demands.
oh, i'm so glad you're getting quality time with the boys!
What playful shots. Looks like they all had so much fun. Those are the moments where I feel peace inside. When the kids are having genuine fun like that. Great shots!
oh, i love it! the ring around the rosey, especially!!
You're written about exactly the dilemmas I'm mulling over...the great balancing act we call life!
It looks like you're doing a great job - and keeping it all in perspective! Hang in there! :)
Oh my gosh! They are having so much fun!! I can just feel the pure joy coming off the pictures.
Ahh, boy power! I can see why that gave you a boost. :)
That second shot is great, I love the light and the joy on all their faces!
I love the picture of ring around the rosie - it made me smile!
