Lyla is 2!

I knew I hadn't written in a while, but I didn't realize that my last post was the day before I went back to work.  Wow.  I guess that proves just how busy my life is right now!  It's actually been great... I enjoy having a routine; the past four weeks at work have been just fine.  My class is awesome; I really love my students, so that has helped make my transition a little easier.  Hagen has been doing great at daycare. He is such a fun, sweet baby!  I love his little coo's and the way he looks at me when I hold him.  I sure do miss my sweet babies all day... only two more weeks until summer, though!
Lyla Grace turned two years old on Saturday, May 26.  She had a Minnie Mouse themed birthday party.  She enjoyed opening presents and eating cake!  I can't believe she's already 2.  Life is flying by... I can't wait to savor every second with my cuties this summer!
Enough talk... here are some recent photos!

One. More. Day.

   Tomorrow is my last day of maternity leave.  I've been sitting here trying to think of something really fun to do with Lyla tomorrow... I will really miss her for the next six weeks until summer!  Today my (90 year old) grandma took Lyla for a walk around the block (ONE BLOCK) and it took them one hour... that's because Lyla has to stop after every step to talk about something!  But I think that might have been right on pace with my Grandma, she's gotten a little slow these days.  That's another person I'll miss when I go back to work- Lyla, Hagen, and I visit 'Nana' almost everyday.  I love that lady!  I know she will miss us too! 
   Part of me is a little excited about going back to work.  Even though I love my freedom, it will be nice to have some sort of schedule again.  Lyla has been spoiling me lately because she sleeps until 9 or 9:30... it will be rough to set that alarm again.  Hagen is no where near sleeping through the night so I know I will be a very tired teacher until I get used to it. 
   Hagen turned 6 weeks yesterday... he is growing so fast!  Here are my cuties!





The Boyle's Visit!

I was very excited for the Boyle family to come visit with us! Mrs. Boyle is my Room Mother and Matthew (yellow shirt) is in my class. His sister, Krista, and brother, Graham, came along too. Lyla and I enjoyed their company!
