the mondays

kevin went back to work today, but thankfully nana came up from san diego for a few more days while i get my sea legs. until i also recover my mental faculties, these posts will be pretty slim, but hopefully a few pictures will make up for it.

highlights this past weekend include our first walk with the stroller (violet was fascinated by the shadows made by the fluttering swaddle blanket acting as her shade); violet's first swing; and lisa's pumpkin chocolate chip muffins (not for babies). low points include a diaperless poopsplosion on the ten-step walk to the sink for a bath; the hiccups; and our dreadful 1-2 football teams.

i know we have to face the real world, but we sure miss daddy today.

  1. You're amazing, Stacey! I think it was about a month or so before Dan left me at home alone with Simon and I remember being terrified that everything would fall apart.

  5. Man, I remember the day that John went back to work. It was so hard! That whole week was really difficult. After that, though, I got used to it and now life is so much better. It takes awhile to adjust. :) Check out meetup.com for lots of mom groups. Makes meeting moms pretty easy.
