Today was my last day of maternity leave. I'm so lucky to have had 6 months off with my little girls, but it went by way too fast. The last 6 months has also been the most challenging of my life, with everything from my dads stroke, to adjusting to three kids, to moving, to adjusting to three kids (yes I said that twice!) and a lot of stuff in between. But the challenges helped put a lot of things in perspective and the girls and I made the most of our maternity leave together. While I will miss staring at their sweet & beautiful faces all day long, this mama will again adjust to be a happy working mom.
This morning after dropping off Miles at school, the girls and I picked up Mimi to go run some errands and pick up some things I need before returning to work. Then the girls took an epic 3 hour nap before going on a walk with Mitch and I, checking out our garden, dinner (they tried carrots!), baths and bedtime. Meanwhile Miles was helping grandpa C mow their backyard, played and went to his favorite BWW restaurant for dinner.
Here are the girls and us before our afternoon walk.
