Happy Holidays

This is my absolute favorite time of year. I love everything about it, from the gathering of family and friends, to the delicious holiday treats, scents of cinnamon and winter greenery, twinkling Christmas lights, and the sound of beautiful Christmas music that reminds us of why we celebrate the season. The holidays were extra special this year because of our little man, Rylan. Although he doesn't understand Christmas and all its meaning yet, its still exciting to pretend like he can tell the difference between Christmas Day and any other day. We enjoyed every moment of this holiday season and can't wait for all the wonderful Christmas's to come with our growing family.

Rylan's New Friend

Well, the first week of daycare was a success! Our good friend Camille is watching Rylan and it's nice to know that he is in good hands while we are gone during the day. Camille's daughter, Lily, is such a little sweetheart. Her and Rylan have become good friends and love to laugh and play together.

What a Difference...

...three months makes. I can't believe how quickly time has passed and how big my son has gotten already! It seems like yesterday when we brought him home from the hospital. I'm so grateful that I could take 12 weeks off and really enjoy this transition into motherhood. Sadly, the time has now come for me to return to work. I sure will miss the little guy during the day. He'll be okay. It's me that I'm worried about:). I've already given my coworkers fair warning that I'll be crying in my cube for a few days until I get over my separation anxiety. Hmmm, I wonder if I could just hide him at my desk. Just kidding!
