Maskus Family Blog: Broken Promise

I know that I said I was going to be better at posting on here...and well, you can see I have not been so great. I am really going to try to commit myself to posting at least weekly. Things here are going well. Evan is growing so fast, he is already 4 months old. As of last week he weighed 9 lbs 6 oz. He is such a good baby...he sleeps (pretty much all night) and he has recently started to smile a ton and loves to coo and make sounds.

Lauren is doing great at school. Last week she won an award for academic achievement and perfect attendance. She was rightly very proud of herself. She amazes me every day with what a great big sister she is. She is such a loving and compassionate little girl.

Tommorow I start my new job. I am very excited about this job and know that it is a great oppurtunity for me, but it is going to be hard to not be home with Evan anymore. I am grateful for the four months that I was able to spend at home with him and to have the opportunity to pick Lauren up from school every day. My life was not written for me to be a stay at home mom but I will always cherish the time I did get.

I know that Evan will be well taken care of and loved, these are the same women who took such amazing care of Lauren as a baby.

Some pictures from the last month

After his bath: it's nice to see him
without oxygen and his braces and
really enjoy what a cutie he is!
