Staying Home Just a Little Bit Longer

Thursday, April 18, 2013

Must. Stay home. With this guy.

 
Just popping in to share some very fun news.
 
With my one year of maternity leave coming to an end (waaaaah) it was either start getting ready to go back to work (eeeeek!) or extend my leave for a little bit longer.
 
My super cool hubs agreed that staying home is a good fit for our family right now. So, instead of heading back to work at the end of April, I've extended my leave for the months of May and June. With the summer after that it means that I won't have to go back to work until the new school year in September.
 
Four extra months with the Coopster is pretty awesome. I'm very grateful and relieved.
 
Weeeeeeee!
 
I've got a few posts lined up (some cute Homesense finds, a basement design board, some Fixer Upper bathroom progress, etc. etc.) but I just haven't had a chance to sit down and write any of them!
 
I'll be back. But in the meantime, how squishy are those cheeks!?!?! ;)

  13. I love his eyes!! Both my boys have my brown eyes even though my husband is one of 12 kids and they all have blue green eyes!! Congrats to you on staying home longer with your cutie pie!! I have been fortunate enough to stay home with mine since they were born and they are now 10 and 7 and cannot believe how fast it has gone by!!! So when I read your post it made me think of a post I just read at Between You and Me blog and was so true. I hope you will go read it...it is called Thirteen. Very touching and great for moms!!! Also I was so excited to see your post pop up on my feed and will be waiting for your other posts :-).
