A New Year!

It's been a while since I updated!  I've been hastily preparing for my return to work from summer vacation.  I've said it to various people in the past few weeks.  I am entering this year with a new, optimistic attitude, ready to conquer life as a mom, a wife, and a teacher.  I'm ready for this new challenge.  As hard as it is leaving Ellie each day, I know that I need to do it, and I've stopped spending every waking moment trying to figure out how to stay home with her.  It's just not doable right now, and that's ok.  She knows I love her, even if I can't home with her 24/7.  She went back to daycare today and totally blew me away!  She did great...played hard, ate well, and napped like a champ!  Such a big girl!
