These past couple weeks have been filled with many fun events. Grace spent her first hours away from the family at her daycare provider Mel's house. Everyone did fine but mom. While leaving I teared up and then what is the one place a mother shouldn't go when she misses her baby?!?! That is right, I went to Babies R Us to pick a few things up without my baby. Let's just say I won't be doing that again!
This weekend Grace got to experience her first cookie day! After spending a fun day with Grandma Jeanne, we spent the night at the farm. Grace spelt pretty well up there and is getting ready for out couple nights up there for Christmas. Cookie day is a special day with my girlfriend from KU, Julianne, and her mother to bake cookies all day to eat during the holiday season. Grace enjoyed her time with the ladies and the love from everyone. Next year will be even more exciting with a toddler. Here are a couple photos from the day. Julianne and her mother were so sweet and gave Grace some adorable gifts. The photo of her in her first tutu will be coming soon.
We were blessed to see our friends the Sandersons a lot this week. Shawna came down for a visit with the kids and we spent time with them up in Ft Collins. Phil kept talking to Adam about all of the 14ers he would like Adam to join him on next year. I guess Phil didn't ask Shawna about these hikes or me because he thinks there will be time for a couple hikes a month. These hikes take our men away for the whole day plus some. Adam's hall passes are not that many ;P Don't get me wrong, I do think guy time is important...not 2x a month for 24+ hours. Plus, Adam might have issues with the lack of sleep he receives when sleeping in the car with another snoring man at the bottom of the mountain.
This is the dreaded week. Wednesday I start work again. I know that Mel will take good care of Grace and she will be just fine. It is going to be hard to be home during the day working while knowing my daughter is a 5 minute walk away and I can't be with her all the time. We will continue the breastfeeding, so I might get one more time during the day to see her. So many changes in so little time!
I will update more this week but for now I have to get some Christmas shopping done during our subzero temperatures :(
