This is my second week back at work and I already find myself reflecting on the days when Ollie and I could sleep in and snuggle, take our daily trips to Fred Meyer, and having time to cook every night. However I must admit that the last couple of months of my leave I was starting to feel a bit antsy especially as the weather got colder and we weren't able to spend much time outdoors. As much as I love being home with Oliver I also enjoy having a well-balanced life that I suppose includes work.. I say that a bit indifferently because I don't feel as though I have found my 'dream job' yet but I also can't complain about my current gig. I'm actually really pleased with my new project and the fact that it's been a super slow start with a holiday last week and a few snow days this week that have allowed me more time at home. We've had a good start to 2012 thus far as Rhett and I enjoyed a fun date night, we had the Hill-Stach's over for dinner and we celebrated Oliver's 6 month birthday!

Oliver at 6 months - it's so fun to watch him change and grow. I used to think he looked exactly like Rhett but now I can see both of our features in him.
Happy 6 month birthday Ollie - we love you so much!!!
