Back to the Grind

I started working again.  I had planned on waiting until the fall, after the kiddos started Kindergarten and were gone from me all day.  But, I had always hoped to go right back to my old job and pick up where I left off.  So, when that exact opportunity actually happened, I had to jump on it.  I am so fortunate to be back with my old company with my old peeps that I had missed so much!

For now, I'm only working part-time, three days a week.  I am so unbelieveably thankful to have had the time at home with my babies.  I wouldn't have traded it for the world and will always be grateful for those years with them at home.  But, it definitely feels great to be back at work again too.  I was so apprehensive about it at first and battled through a lot of guilt about going back early.  So far, it's been great especially since Brent can work from anywhere.  A laptop by the pool or at the park is just as beneficial as a laptop in an office.

Here are some random pictures from the last few weeks.  It's been really hectic but I'm sure it will calm down a bit once we find our groove.  Our poor house is in complete disarray with laundry flung from floor to ceiling and dishes piled so high in the kitchen that flies are soon to start swarming. We are loving being on summer break though.  I've been so spoiled having the babies at home all day again.  I'm going to miss them way too much in the fall.

Callie's flower with a bonus organ.  I bet their teacher got a kick out of this one!

Lacey bit him in the ear and he had to have stitches.  He also had surgery on his
foot twice since he was ripping off the cast and pulling out the stitches. 
Thus, the cone of shame.

Pre-K diplomas!  Hooray!

Wyatt's soccer team.  They were just too cute!

Callie and I made kale chips from the kale in our garden.  It was pretty nasty
so we left it outside for the armadillos.  Even they didn't want it.
