Blooms First Year

Life Has Officially Changed

At the beginning of April, Bloom and I took a trip to Bellingham to visit the cousins. Aaron was out of town and I went out to "help" Kate (mostly just an excuse to visit). Bloom seemed to handle the traveling pretty well (probably better then me), if the flight had been any longer he may have lost it...but we made it safe and sound. Usually visits with my sister means going for long walks, drinking lots of coffee, and SHOPPING. This trip was very different. We actually did go to the mall...twice. One day I took Bloom and Montana to play at the playground there (raining of course), and I had to resort to window shopping while we went to and from the playground. Another day we went there to visit the Children's Museum and honestly didn't even get a chance to glance longingly at the Spring fashions in the window. Oh yeah, and we did manage to make it to Target, but by the time everyone ate a snack, changed diapers, etc, shopping just seemed like too much! Wow, life is different. Going anywhere meant strapping 3 kids into the car, packing snacks, and planning around naps...It feels surreal to be full on in this phase of life. And to be completely honest, I LOVE IT! I love to play and laugh and be SO BLESSED to share motherhood with my sister! It was a great and exhausting trip and I am so glad I went.
