Back to work






I can't beleive my 3 month maternity leave is over already. It seems like we just barely brought are little angel home. The thought of leaving her makes me tear up every time. I haven't spent more than an hour away from her...ever! My boss was ever so nice and let me come back part-time my first week, so I will only have to suffer through a few hours. I have enjoyed spending such quality time with both my kiddos!
Kaylen is turning into such a big girl. Full of personality and a smile that brightens the room. She is losing that "newborn look" which is bittersweet. This will be the last time we have a newborn in the house so I want to savor every moment. She is also turning into quite the talker. Coos of course, but we can carry on 20 minute conversation without breaking a sweat. Hopefully she will still talk to me that much when she's 16...I won't count on it. She is also growing into quite the little butterball. I always say we don't have scrawny babies in this house and she is holding true!

Aiden is still convinced his new sister is the best thing since sliced bread. He is always watching out for her, talking to her, kissing her, bringing her toys to play with, etc. I think he is most excited to bring Kaylen to daycare with him. I don't know what he thinks she will do there but he is excited none the less. Aiden went to his first dentist appointment today. I was little worried that he would freak out but he was such a big boy. He sat through an entire cleaning without even as much as a wimper or wiggle. He makes me so proud when I see what an amazing little man he is growing in to.

I am sorry you have to go back to work! That sucks. I would love to tell you it get's easier when the get a bit bigger but.... It doesn't. I still majorly struggle leaving the girls. I will be in Powell soon to pick up and drop off some framing so I will look you up! I need to come get some baby loving in before she get's any bigger! I absolutly love the gay picture, how darling!
