When Madeleine wakes up, whether it is 1 am or 6 am, she always greets me with “mourning”. She will usually follow that with some other request (i.e. crying, milk, etc). It is very cute the way that she says it and now as she is getting better with her “words” it is slowing turning into the proper pronunciation of “morning”. I will miss it when it is gone, it always brings a smile to my face!
After many long hours of contemplation we have decided to return to Colorado. Last month I was offered a great job at Schering Plough and we had decided to make New Jersey our home for a little longer. Unexpectedly, Morgan received a call from a recruiter in Denver. After explaining that his wife was getting ready to accept a new job in NJ they convinced him to move forward with an interview. It worked out that he could interview while we were in Colorado on vacation. Not knowing if he would get the job or not I had to accept the job offer here. Long story short….he got the job. It was not an easy decision and I have to admit I cried when I withdrew my acceptance of the offer.
All in all I am exited and looking forward to returing to our home. It will be great to be back with family and friends. I am not sure if I am going to work or not, but it is nice to have the choice. The next couple of weeks will be crazy but I am sure we will get through it somehow. We always do. I am looking forward to settling back into our home and staying there for awhile!
Only four days until my little family gets to board a plane and go back to Colorado. We are leaving on Saturday to spend a whole week there. The last time we were there was May. This wall be the longest trip back since last year for Thanksgiving. I am very exited! We will be celebrating the kids birthdays with all of our family (both sides). My husband and I will have a few dates! The kids will laugh and play with cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. I will get to shop, have coffee, lunch and have pedicures with dear friends. I will get to see Jen’s new baby and friends kids who have grown. We are going to spend a day in Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park (see photo). It will be Madeleine’s first real trip to the mountains and I think the first one Mason will really appreciate.
I am afraid I will come back to NJ very homesick. Every time we visit it is hard to leave. Oh well only a few more months until Christmas!
