It's been a while since my last post so I apologize for the lag between posts. November and December have involved a fair amount of traveling and sometimes it's hard to stop and just gather the thoughts.
So-only about 3 more days till Christmas. Another year has flown by so fast. I remember last year this time, Lydia was only 4 months old. It's funny when I think back to all the people who told me this time when they are young just flies by so fast. I guess at the time-with the lack of sleep, and the newness of having a baby in the house still not completely set in, I allowed that time to fly by me. It's already been over a year now and I'm in awe at how much she has grown. Sometimes I wish I could just push a pause button on life just so I could take in the fullness of the moment.
So-with the new baby-now named Jada- on the way, I really hope that I won't get caught up in the business of having two little ones that I forget to breath in the moments that come only once. I'm so thankful that I have the best job in the whole world which is being home to raise my kids. I know there are so many women out there who long to have the same job, but can not for whatever reason and I thank God everyday (even in the challenging days) that I've been so richly blessed. There are days where I miss the comrodery of fellow peers and having "adult" conversations by the coffee maker, but I would not trade any of that for some of the miracles I have witnessed just in the last few months of being home with Lydia. And yes-it feels like only a blink since I came home from my full time job in May of this year.
So-onto Christmas 2008! This one will be lots of fun b/c Lydia will actually probably get a kick out of opening her gifts. Even if it is only to play with the boxes or wrapping paper! Her Nanaa and Nanee (Punjabi for grandpa and grandma) have a big gift coming for her tomorrow. Jeff gets to assemble and piece it for her to see on Christmas Eve morning. Yes-we're going to celebrate a little Christmas of our own before heading to the Burg for Christmas with the Metz's. It will be exciting for her to come into the living room and see this big gift and the 120 pcs that go along with it! I just have one thing to say about the gift...watch out EMERIL! :)
Merry Christmas!

hi sabs!
so, are your two lil ones going to be 19 months apart? i just tried to do the math with the birthday tickers, but i am not sure if i did it right?
it's fun to read your blog. it's funny, because for some reason i forget that lydia is only 4 months older than claire, i always thing she is 6 months or more older. how much fun would they have if we lived closer! ;) i miss you.
