Week in Review

Tuesday-Friday seems to be a blur...playgroup was Tuesday, then work, work, work...blah blah blah.  Friday was a nice almost end to my work week though.  Rollie headed to the driving range with Amar and Kai who are two of my friends husbands, while us ladies, Micaela, Rosey, and Dawn had a nice little happy hour with the babies at Dawn's house.  I'm really glad that Rollie is becoming friends with some o the 'Dad's' it sounds like they even talked about 1st birthdays and nighttime routines...adorable! Saturday while I slaved away at work Rollie and Lily celebrated Micaela's 30th birthday at Lagunitas...jealous!

Yesterday we (Lily and I) slept in until 9am!!!  Crazy and clearly needed.  We then did some yardwork for a few hours before my cousin and his friend arrived for their overnight visit to tour Sonoma State.  We treated the boys to lunch at Russian River then headed back to our house to relax for a bit before heading over to our friends house for a bbq.  Our good friends Tom and JC just bought a house in Petaluma.  Yeah closer to us!  They also just got engaged and it was Jean Claire's birthday...lots to celebrate.  Amber, Josh, and Meghan were there too.  We're so grateful that we've made such incredible friends in such a short time here.  We've stuck to our monthly dinner club since January now and its such a great time.

Hopefully I'll get to Lily's 8 month post tomorrow.

    If Connor attends Sonoma State, Sara and I are going to be fighting over the spare bedroom a lot! I love the pictures - and the baby shorts crack me up. Did we really worry that she wasn't gaining enough weight?

    Congrats to Tom and JC - I see lots of pictures in Lily's future. You are so lucky to have such great groups of friends.

In the thick of it

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

Comparison

I started reading blogs almost 5 years ago. It first started with following a few photographers when I was laid off and thinking of pursuing a career in the photography field (that didn't happen), then it was home improvement blogs after we bought our first house (and I still follow many of those), and most recently pregnancy blogs that have now in a way turned into 'mommy' blogs.  I really enjoy reading a select few women's journeys through motherhood.  I even follow some of these women on Instagram and in a way some of us have become IG 'friends'.  Two of them posted about a topic today that I really can relate to.   Comparison is the thief of joy.   We are surrounded by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reality tv, Blogs and Pintrest that it is WAY to easy to find ways to compare our lives with those we know as well as complete strangers.  I work in the luxury wine industry and I meet people everyday that don't even blink at dropping a mortgage payment worth
