Whoa!

Sorry I haven't been keeping this updated. What a crazy ride life is taking me on. Good thing I have Kayah along with me, otherwise it'd be hard to stay focused. I don't think I had mentioned in any previous blogs that I had begun seeing someone at the beginning of my summer vacation. We had a great summer together with our kids. I regained a lot of confidence that I think I had lost over the past few years, so it's been interesting. Along with that confidence boost, I've been losing weight. As of right now I'm down 45 lbs since May! I'm pretty excited! I think just the fact that emotionally I felt more in charge of myself and the fact that I had someone to actually go out and do things with helped greatly.

Now I'm back into the swing of things at work. A new year, new kids, new problems, new everything. It is interesting in my job how differently things can be from year to year. Kids are unpredictable. Kayah is no longer going to her in-home daycare. She is with a nanny and her 1 year old daughter all day. They go between my house, her house, and another client's house. They do play groups and take trips to the zoo and other places around town. I think Kayah loves all the interaction, yet still gets to have more individualized attention. It seems to be working out really well.

Kayah is all over the place! She walks pretty steadily now and at times practically runs. She climbs up and onto everything. She "talks" like crazy, although not a lot of real words are coming out yet...but she thinks they are! :) She's so beautiful. She's my world. She's my everything.

Here are some new pics of Kayah & I...
