Welcome to our blog! This is where we'll post our family goings-on so friends and family can keep up with us. If nothing else, maybe we'll provide a few minutes of distraction from work. :) I think Josh and I will take turns writing so we can offer a balanced perspective!
Life is moving right along here in Atlanta. For those who don't know, I have retired from teaching to be a full-time mom so I'm enjoying the "I don't have to go back to school in 2 weeks!" feeling right about now. However, staying at home is much more difficult than I could have anticipated, and far more challenging than any job I've had outside of home. I didn't think anything could be harder than teaching, but lo and behold, it is called "motherhood." While I wouldn't say each week gets easier, I do find it to be kind of like a job that you're just starting: you gain more confidence and learn the ropes as you go.
Zay turned one on July 11th and he's quite a big boy these days. He took his first step on his birthday, but has been hesitant to start the train moving in full gear. This is fine with me because I think he's going to take off into a dead sprint and I'll be running after him for the next 18 years. He's into absolutely everything, and he LOVES to dance. He just can't help himself. His favorite music appears to be Bob Marley and Dave Matthews. Not AT ALL influenced by his parents. :) As for talking, Zay has really passionate conversations with Bo on a daily basis, but he's waiting to translate into English for the time being. He says something that sounds like "dog," and he was saying "hey-yo" when the phone rang, but he's ceased. It's hilarious to hear him trying out all of his different sounds, though.
I am 16 weeks pregnant - due January 1st. We're not going to find out the gender of the baby because we love life's wonderful surprises. We're also not going to share the names we pick out because chances are pretty good that one of our dear friends/family members will completely ruin whatever we choose with some horrible story of "Oh, I knew a NAME. Terrible person. Ewh." So, we'll all find out together around the holidays!
I'll let Josh write about FitWit as I just hang around the office and hear random things. The foundation is off to a good start, though, and we are all excited about it!
Is that enough for a first post? It seems rather long. There's just so much back story.
