Long-Overdue Update

It has been so long since I last blogged! Uffda! Soren and I have been keeping busy with preschool, work, and Summer fun! He has grown so much both in height and development, it's crazy fun to watch him learn  new things. He knows all but 4 letters of the alphabet and is almost able to spell his name, right now he says "S-O-R". He loves exploring in the backyard, swimming, and bubbles. He is starting to say some 2-word phrases, such as "Want more" and "Mama, Up". He is such a happy, easygoing kid, I am so thankful for this! He loves his preschool and during the Summer he goes to "camp" at his preschool. I send lunches on days that he goes so this has been a new adventure for both of us; so far little cottage cheese cups and crackers have been a hit.

As far as updates for me, I'm still trucking along, one foot in front of the other. I've been picking up alot of shifts at work this Summer so I haven't had as many free days with Soren as I would like. I've been busy with clinical supervision and am half-way done now! I should be done in October 2014 then can sit for my exam. I imagine our lives will change quite a bit once I get the clinical licensure. I plan to try and find a full-time weekday therapy job at that point and hopefully will be at a point financially that I would start looking at buying a home/townhome. These are really big plans that ride on alot of "What-ifs", and this last year has definitely been an exercise in living for today and not focusing on the future as things can change so quickly.

Soren had professional pictures done again this year with Tami Tripp photography. They turned out AMAZING, I'm so so happy I took the splurge! My plan is do this once a year until he starts Kindergarten.

Next will be his 2-year update!!! Gahh, he's growing too fast!!!
