Lately...

 We have been super busy in this household the past month.  I started back at work January 2nd, Jong's been busy with his restaurant, and Miss Kensleigh is just a growing.

Going back to work was hard-I'm not going to lie.  Luckily, I have a support system in place.  One of my dear friends started back a little before me and it's definitely helped to have her to talk to.  We like to call ourselves the "working milk mommas".  Now  thats because we both read a book called The Milk Memos.  Its about a group of moms who work at IBM and their experiences going back to work and nursing.  I truly recommend it to anyone working/nursing.  I think I even cried a little when I finished the book because I felt like I had gotten to know these women and now that I finished it I wouldn't have them to encourage me.  There are good days and bad days.  Days I am glad to be going to work and days I feel guilty for not being at home.  But I am doing a great work and cannot come down-Nehemiah 6:3 And this is where I need to be at the moment.

Jong and I found a wonderful nanny for Kensleigh.  I couldn't be happier with her.  We both felt strongly about  keeping Kensleigh in her environment and after much discussion and a few interviews we met Katie.  And it was truly a Godsend. You know how you "just know" sometimes?  Thats how we felt about her.  I can't really explain it, but we both had a feeling and went with it and we welcomed Katie into our lives.  How our schedule plays out (since neither of us has a traditional 8-5 job) we are able to be with her most of the week and then Katie keeps her about 3 days, so it works out really well.

And then Little Miss Kens (as I like to call her) just keeps on growing.  She was 13.7lbs  (40%) and 26" long (90%) at her 4month checkup.  She is doing really good.  Just as happy as can be.  She is sleeping around 11 hours at night, can roll over both ways, and is just a joy to be around.  My favorite is walking into her room in the mornings when I hear her talking to herself and she just looks at me and smiles the biggest smile and squeals in delight.  Oh, how children change your world.  Just precious.  You almost wonder how you lived with out them and then you think, well you just slept a lot more.

Here's some of my favorite pictures lately and I promise I will try to blog a little bit more.

New Things...

Oh my where to begin...

So Jong has decided to try something new and open up a restaurant....Burger Tap-It's down in Atlanta in the Highlands.  You should go check it out-It's great food at great prices.  I made him bring me a burger last night  for dinner-yum!  And I'm not normally a burger person, but there's sometimes when all you want is a good ole burger-you know?

Kensleigh has learned to roll over.  Yep, thats right- She just growing too fast.  At her 2 month check up so was 11.9lbs and 23 3/4" long.   She is starting to stay awake lots longer and just smiles and coos all the time.  She is just so darn cute and happy all most of the  time.  I really could eat her up.

Kensleigh has also been holding her head up more and more and for longer periods of time.  So therefore I've started sitting in her bumbo.  Not quite sure what she thinks but here's a peak at her...

And the BEST thing is hearing her laugh.  She just did this today and it made my heart smile.  I laughed with her-So so so sweet.  Luckily for you I got her on video so enjoy!!!  Just so darn cute, I tell you!

And she just turned 3 months old! Wow how times flies....

3 months-December 18th

Today...

Today, I am so very thankful to have the day off!  It has been a long 6 day haul over at the Kim's house.  I am  in much need of  a break!  Also, today is mine and Jong's 4 year anniversary! Yes, 4 years!  It feels like yesterday that we were just walking down that aisle to say our "I do's"...

I must say that Jong is such a wonderful husband and does everything he possible can for me (and the pups).  He's sweet, funny, charming, loving, hardworking, I could just go on and on. I mean don't get me wrong he has at least one flaw, that being that he can't cook.  Don't worry, he knows that cooking is not his strong point.  But he does a great job cleaning up after my cooking (and folding the laundry).

So today we plan on spending the day together.  Just hanging out, maybe do a little bit of shopping. (We have a trip coming up that we need to get some things for.) And then, we have dinner reservations tonight at Two Urban Licks-one of my favorite restaurants.

So today is going to be a great day with my hubs and I am very much looking forward to it.

I love you Jong!
