i have so much to catch up on in this space here of mine.  indy has kept me very busy with his new crawling abilities and now a tooth to get upset about.  he seems to know when i've left the room now, or rather his side, and can be heard crying and arms and legs hitting and pushing at the ground behind me to find out where i've gone.  my hands are full with holding indy while trying to manage the household chores that have increased with the little eater in the family (twice the laundry now it seems and kitchen mess) and also trying to give proper attention to number one - ezra - did you think i meant me?  i'd like to find more time for myself and am starting with a little twenty minute yoga session every morning that has been sorely missing from my daily routine.  it seems that i'm at a point where if i don't carve out a little time for myself everyday, i'll never have any again for a very long time.  but, i'm sure that's just how it seems right now.  things are always changing.  this would be ezra's first year in school if we were normal people.  but, normal we are not.  we are now officially unschoolers.  this means we believe that our child can learn at home without a formal school curriculum.  we are still embarking on this long and stressful journey called medical school with two kids in tow.  we have moved 4 times in the last 3 years and will be moving again in 4 months.  i am grateful that homeschooling is an option.  i am grateful for michael's dedication to his pursuit and that i am able to stay home and care for our children at the same time.  although it has its challenges for both of us, we believe the path will lead to a bright future for our whole family and that there is wisdom to be gleaned along the way.  i am thankful for my beautiful family and my hardworking brainy husband.  life is good.
