new month, new routine

(from 6/2/10)
today is my first day back at work after almost 6 months of maternity leave. big changes many times come with some mixed emotions and this change is no exception. i think of all of us, greta is the most excited about this particular change. she and i had to talk through the routine that would happen when i put her to bed last night and it was almost like a kid on christmas eve.

the morning routine was smooth and greta helped me take graham into the baby room. she carried the bag with the bottles of milk to make sure graham had food for the day. she offered to stay with graham for a bit after i left to make sure he was ok, but i told her she should eat breakfast with her friends and check on him a bit later (and they would get her if they needed her sooner). i've gotten a few pictures today and a call that assures me all is well and he is doing great. greta has visited him twice so far and he was smiling and happy to see her.

we had a great holiday weekend leading up to the back to work week. evan was incredible on saturday as he went upstairs with greta when she woke up and let me sleep in a bit and then surprised me by letting me know he has scheduled a massage that afternoon for me and made reservations for the family at la fondue for dinner. it was a wonderful day and felt very decadent.

we had great weather (finally!) for the weekend and spent lots of time outside, which was nice.
