It's too bright!!

Why does it seem as if I have a 13 year old already?

My 2 year old, Ania, has been sleeping in our bed in the middle of the night, which will stop tonight!  In the morning, I turn on the bathroom light, she covers her eyes and says "it's too bright!"  And this morning, she actually rolled over and went back to sleep.  Um.  Really?

Sleeping beauties

Flexibility

One thing I'm greatful and blessed is the work flexibility.  I do prefer going into the office but I do have options to work from home when one of the kids is sick.  I don't have to take a sick day and Ania is old enough where I can put her in front of thw tv if I have a conference call.  It helps my boss relates and his kids are around 7 and 8 yrs old so hes been through it.

Ania's day - a walk, relaxing after the walk, another walk, lunch then a nap

Putting himself out there

Being in Houston, Tom really hasnt had time to meet people.  From his test,  family, career moves time flew...now he's able to put himself out there. He clicked with my sister's friends husband.  Six degrees much?  They briefly met in NY when they visited,  then again when family was in town, then they went to happy hour.  So, about 4 months later we met up again. 

My little family

Stephanie's Angels

This was the first year we walked with Stephanie's angels. It was the 9th the team has walked in memory of Stephanie.  Great race!  Great family time.  We walked with my mom who is a survivor.  It's been 8 years since her diagnosis and remission.  She's been lucky to have caught it early amd labeled stage 0 where my mom went through radiation and had surgery to remove the affected area.  She had a great time and enjoyed herself. 

You remeber things when they first occur then soon forget when it gets better.   I remember where I was when my mom called and told me the news. I qas walking to the subway on my way to work.  I would call and say hi to my mom but that call she said she was fine and said they found something and it was going to be ok.  My heart sank.   You can't help think the worse and some situations it can be.  In my case, I'm one of the blessed ones.  I hate the disease. There will be a cure one day.
