One year...

Today marks one year that I have been back at work since being on maternity leave. I know this seems like a weird date to remember, but its the first official day I became a working mom of two.

One year ago today....I took my baby boy to his first day at daycare. (Doesn't he look scared to death....like Mama what are you doing to me?!?)


Until this day came one year ago, I didn't think I could do it and possibly get out the door on time (well sort of on time). Now my daily routine consists of two boys to get up and dressed in the mornings. Two boys to feed breakfast to. Two boys to strap in the car, sing songs and tell funny stories to on our endless commute to school and work. Two boys and all their bags to take into daycare/school every single morning. And now my heart breaks in TWO pieces every morning when I leave them... I absolutely love my boys school, but I miss them terribly and can not wait until the time I can pick them up again each afternoon. However I always feel like our nights are too short and by the time we have dinner, bath time and just a few minutes of playtime, its already time for bed. Just to start the routine over the next day. But I guess that is what a working parent is all about - routines, schedules, and missing your children like crazy.

Today, one year later...I took this little "walking" ball of energy to daycare!


I can not believe how much he has grown in just one year....my baby is getting to be such a big boy!
