Door Closes, Window Opens

I am selling my double BOB and find that very sad as lots of memories were made in that stroller. During the summer of 2009 those 3 wheels racked up some mileage - rain, heat, humidity, regardless that thing was always rolling up or down Liberty Pike! The irony is that I spent Summer of 2009 at home, on maternity leave. Now 2 years later, I am at home, again, finding myself consumed with the stroller but instead of using it I am selling it... And I am NOT on maternity leave but rather enjoying some down time in between jobs! Closing chapters always makes me sad, even the not so great ones.
 I have enjoyed my time off so much. I have organized, cleaned, sewed, monogrammed and started blogging again!
Today, was a BUSY day! Emerson and I got up and went to a Kid Fit fun walk in WestHaven, then to a charity sale, then to swim lessons. After it was all said and done, Emerson had completed a triathlon! She rode her bike 3/4 mi, swam (like a CHAMP, taking breaths and using correct strokes), then ran laps around the gym with a friend!
The girls are at great ages, Emerson is so sweet and thoughtful while McCall is so FUNNY! Tonight, at dinner, Emerson sang a song to McCall about how much she loved her. McCall looked at her, with a very mean look, and said "No, you don't!" Later tonight, the following conversation took place between McCall and I:
McCall: "Can I hab that?" she points at ruler on floor
Me: "No. I'm using it."
McCall: "I wanna take it to its Mommy."
Me "No. Wait...what? Where is its Mommy?" McCall then walks over to closet, brings out yardstick

New Chapter!

After 10 years, I gave my 2 weeks notice to GSK and could not be happier. I am starting a new adventure/career on April 25 with Boehringer Ingelheim and am VERY excited. With this new chapter perhaps I should start blogging again as I have not done this in a long time. Emerson is 4 1/2 and McCall will be 3 in just 2 months, what happened to my babies??? Emerson is taking swim lessons and I hope that she will make the McKays Mill swim team this summer. McCall is starting swim lessons in a few weeks as well. While she is too young to be on the swim team, I hope that she will learn as fast as Emerson and enjoy swimming.. Going to the pool is so fun during the summer all our friends are there, it wears out the kiddos and it is free entertainment!
