Kickin' it into gear...

Well, I'm gearing up to head back to work next week. I'm pretty nervous about it on the whole. While I'm excited to see everyone and actually do the work again, I'm not excited to not spend everyday with Kacey anymore. I know it will be what is best for all of us, but I'm sure I'm going to miss her a whole heck of a lot. I'm also only working 4 days a week so Fridays and the weekends I'll be able to be with her all day.

I feel fortunate that my parents will be watching her so they can stop by the office and let me see her in the middle of the day. I'm trying to just enjoy every moment with her now instead of dwelling on how hard it will be leaving her everyday. I'm sure it will get easier as the time goes on though. I just need to remember that I'm not going to leave one day and return to a teenager.

And now that she's teething, sometimes I think, heck, a break every day might not be all that bad :-)

Here is my favorite recent picture of the little one:

What a wonderful Christmas!

We had a great first Christmas with Kacey. I think it will be even more exciting next year when she has some idea what is really going on and can rip open her own paper. Nonetheless, we loved it! Here are some of my favorite shots from the day:

Getting ready to open with her mommy!

Checking out all the loot that Santa brought!

Sitting in her Bumbo! Thanks Santa!

She loves her Jumperoo from Grandma and Grandpa!

Looking lovely in her Christmas dress!

Happy 3 months!

Well, our big girl is already 3 months old. I don't really have any stats to update since we don't see the pediatrician until her 4 month appointment in January. We're guessing she's around 11 pounds or so now. Still a little skinny thing, but so happy. She coos and ahs and loves smiling at us all of the time.

Happy birthday little one!
Here are some shots of her 3 month photo shoot :-)

Cute much?

What a lucky lady I am to have such a wonderful family :-) Could they be any cuter together?

NO WAY!

Santa is coming to my house?!?!

Kacey graduated!

Kacey graduated from her Great Beginning group this week! Here are some pictures of her with all of her friends. FYI: She's the one sticking out her tongue and waving at the camera...what a cutie!




Here's a closeup of Kacey and her buddy Teddy! They spend lots of time together thanks to their awesome moms! Check out Teddy's blog!
