So Far So Good...

     I really thought that it would be easier to get back to school.  The school part has been ok, it's been the leaving Eli that has nearly killed me!  Monday night I cried for hours and held Eli every second I could (poor Kelly didn't get any baby time).  Tuesday morning I cried as we got ready and left.  Tuesday after leaving him with our wonderful sitter, I cried.  Seeing the trend?  By Tuesday afternoon I swore I would never take him to a sitter again!  (Yes, I was ready to call my principal and quit right then and there).  After some good baby time and a calming blessing from my husband, I am now in a very different state of mind.
      I am so grateful that the Lord has provided a sweet and loving woman who is able to watch my baby while I am doing the job I love so much.  I am grateful my sitter is a grandma who will love my baby like he deserves to be loved.   I am grateful that she lives 2 minutes from the school so I can go visit at lunch.  I am grateful the Lord has blessed me with a son who loves life and loves people.  It's amazing what a couple of days and the Spirit can do for your state of mind.

At the end of one of our lunch visits!

Spa Night with Dad

Just like my dad, I love a good mani/pedi.  
Mom tries to clip my nails, but I prefer Dad's method - 
a pink nail file and a comfy leg to lean on!

Oh the Weather Outside is... Wonderful?

Can you believe the crazy weather?  It has been sunny, mid 40's to 50's, and beautiful!!  Eli and I have ventured out several times to stroll around the neighborhood and the local park.  Sunday afternoon we even dragged Daddy along for the fun.  I mean, it was so nice we had to wear shades!

The Future's so Bright...
Check out my "peeps" in the reflection!
