Nine Months

A lot can happen in nine months - school years pass, babies are born. Today marks nine months since Quin was born. A lot has happened since February 4. I thought it would be fitting to take some time to list the nine highlights of the past nine months.

1. Quin is born.
2. I was accepted into Cohort 11 of Charlotte New Leaders.
3. Joel was accepted into Teach Charlotte.
4. Quin met all developmental milestones.
5.Quin started sleeping through the night. 
6. First family trip to the pumpkin patch.
7. I began developing great relationships with fellow residents.
8. Quin and Joel took a trip together to St. Louis.
9. As a family we began to find our stride together. 

Time certainly has flown by. It's important that we stop every now and then to think about all of the great moments. I need to keep these and other moments in mind when things aren't going so well.
