I started teaching again this fall at a local community college. It's population is enormous compared to where I went to school, but I love it so much. It has allowed me to remember that I'm more than a wife and mama; don't get me wrong, those are great things! I think I was losing who I was and what I wanted in the day to day family business.
We are starting our third year of living in Kansas and my daughter just turned four years old this month. For the last year, Justin and I have been tossing around the idea of having another baby, and even "tried" for a while, but still aren't sure that we want another child. It was a huge change of heart for us to even agree to have one, so not being able to get on the same page about another isn't really too shocking to either of us. I'd say that I'm mostly the one holding back in this area. It's for somewhat selfish reasons, to be perfectly honest. But that's between Justin and I, so I'll stop there!
We just had some new family pictures taken this fall and I'd love to share one of my favorites with you. Take a moment to let me know how you are doing! Find me on Twitter or Facebook and drop a line.

Congrats on the job. I'm glad it is going so well.
Having a second kid is hard. With one kid you can easily hand it over to your spouse and go do something for a while. But with two you both pretty much have your hands full. At least for the first year when you're running around trying to keep fingers out of light sockets.
We were reticent to have our second one because (we pretended) it would steal us away from our first. Ironically, however, they have become best friends over time and we can just let them go.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope your 2011 is fabulous and filled with love.
