Big Sisters

A little over nine years ago our life changed forever, in a wonderful way, when Sarah was born.  We happily went along as a family of three until once again our lives changed for the better a little less than three years later when Anna came along.  For six years we thought our family was complete.  I mean I’m going to be 40 in December for goodness sakes … I’m OLD!  Then in January, SURPRISE, God had other plans for us.  I should have know better than to brag about my freedom of having both kids in school!  In early October we’ll be back to diapers, late-night feedings, lack of sleep, lots of crying (the BABY, folks, not ME), as well as the joy of baby coos and gummy-smiles.  I’ll admit, its taken us some time to adjust to the news.  Of course Sarah and Anna are over-the-moon-excited and can’t wait.  Needless to say the baby dolls have made a reappearance from the playroom, and soccer balls have been pushed under their shirts to show how pregnant they are too.  ;)    Its taken me a little while to catch the excitement, but I finally have.  I was less than thrilled to realize that our current Mazda Tribute just wouldn’t be big enough for our family-of-five-to-be … and I always swore I’d NEVER drive a mini van.  I think I’m falling in love with the three C’s:  the comfort, cargo space, and convenience of our new Toyota Sienna –if not the style!

What does all of this mean to my business?  Well it means a limit of about 4 sessions per month, still focusing on tweens, teens, seniors, and their families.  It also means I’ll be wrapping up sessions by mid-September.  I’ll be on a nice long maternity leave from October until late February, to spend time with the new baby.  :)   Then it’ll be back to business as usual.  Please feel free to call/text/email me with questions or concerns.  :)
