I am back.....

I am so, so sorry.  I didn't call, I didn't write, I didn't even give a reason for my extended departure.  Honestly, life was busy.  Not too busy, but busy.  And, that darn Facebook really sucked a lot of my time.  But not to worry, I am back!  And I plan to write about our daily adventures!
Jackson is a very busy 8 month old!  He has been crawling since July 4th and never looked back!  We have been very busy making new friends....for both Jackson and myself!  It has been nice to connect with other moms in the neighborhood.  Our nap schedules don't always jive, but we all make a very big effort to get the boys together and have some adult conversation.
This morning/after morning nap we took the bus to Bed-Stuy and took a tour of the YMCA there.  It is great!!  Jackson and I are going to join with our friends Karen, Eddie, and Tenzin (hopefully Carlos, Stace, and Mateo too)!!  I can't wait to start doing something for myself again.  Now that Jackson can play on his own or with other kids it will be a lot easier to leave him in the child care center at the Y and go work out!  We also have a goal of getting in their pool quite a bit. Gotta get ready for Mexico!!!
more soon...
