A Firefighter's Wife: Adjusting
http://balvanzfamily.blogspot.com/2011/04/adjusting.html
Life without your husband for 24 hours or more can get a little crazy. Would I change it? Tuesday, April 5, 2011. The Balvanz's are adjusting to mommy going back to work full-time. And after 6 weeks, I am happy to report that everyone-including mommy-is just fine! It was the first place we visited, I loved the director from the start, which was over the phone! The first day was hard of course, Ava was already use to going to pre-school so she couldn't wait to get off her coat and meet new friends! A week...

A Firefighter's Wife: Autumn in Colorado
http://balvanzfamily.blogspot.com/2010/10/autumn-in-colorado.html
Life without your husband for 24 hours or more can get a little crazy. Would I change it? Saturday, October 2, 2010. It's kind of like the saying "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." We have been in Colorado for 9 1/2 years and only one other time driven up into the mountains to see the aspens change color. I always thought "What's the big deal? She loved walking around pressing the buttons on the interactive displays, discovering, and learning. (Perhaps she has a lot of papa Rick in her, that remind...

He is officially the size of a 6 month old who wears 12 month clothing! He loves to coo and "talk" and he is starting to razz. He now will rock himself to either side and is very close to rolling over! Posted by Balvanz Family. Links to this post. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. We celebrated Rita's birthday by going out to eat! So proud of him!

A Firefighter's Wife: February 2011
http://balvanzfamily.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Life without your husband for 24 hours or more can get a little crazy. Would I change it? Monday, February 28, 2011. I hate change. I avoid it like the plague. But a few months ago, I started thinking that things needed to change. I am a good mom and I love my children so much, but I started to notice a change in me when I worked 3 days a week as opposed to none. I was much calmer, nicer, and excited to be home when I worked more! I know it makes no sense! Posted by Balvanz Family. Links to this post.

Life without your husband for 24 hours or more can get a little crazy. Would I change it? Thursday, May 13, 2010. My Mom is a genius. My mom is a genius. Ok, maybe not the technical definition, but she has helped me get past the hump in the road. You see I have a problem. I can't see past the trees, I have trouble thinking outside of the box. If there are rules I follow them.to a "T". That's the problem, there are allows grey areas. Posted by Balvanz Family. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
