15 weeks and back to work we go...

End of an era tomorrow. Back to work I go. I will miss the hours each day that have been spent holding a tiny one. And even the hours each day spent making dinosaurs and wild things and train cars talk, on the floor in the playroom. I will miss daytime walks and time spent on the internet during naps. I will miss heading off to playgroups and festivals and shopping trips with my family every day. It's been a great 17 weeks off, that's for sure.

It will be a challenge to squeeze everything into two short days each week. And yet, there is a little part of me that will be happy to return to a routine. Not to mention some rather delicious alone time in the car two times each day...

In the midst of all this, we are planning for Jack's 3rd birthday party, re-doing the storage in my office, and mulching and updating the landscaping in the backyard. Never a dull moment around here.

And oh, yes, Ivy also turned 15 weeks old on Saturday. Here are some pictures for you...

And, just a few more random pictures from this week...
