when good things come to an end...

tomorrow i go back to work - which means that i will no longer be mason's primary caregiver day in and day out. i have mixed emotions about this. on one hand, i have a great job. i enjoy what i do - it's challenging, fun, and most days, rewarding. on the other hand, i have a great kid. his gummy grin is adorable, his laugh contagious, and the joy he's brought to my life is indescribable.

i am grateful for the 12 weeks i've had to love, nurture, and hang out with my baby boy. i'm grateful for my boss who is anxiously awaiting my return. and i'm grateful for the school that mason is attending which has an awesome curriculum -- even in the infant room. it just sucks that i can't be everywhere at once (or have his crib under my desk).

mason test drove his new school today - i dropped him off around 11 am and brad will be picking him up around 4:30 pm. i ran errands all day getting ready for tomorrow and brad watched mason on the web cam most of the day. mason's done well, but there will be an adjustment period for both of us. please pray for us as we enter this new phase - for a smooth transition, for a positive outlook, and for the peace that transcends understanding.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am only a phone call away if you need anything. You are a GREAT MOM and Mason knows that! Katie

Thinking about you and Mason and sending happy feelings to you! You and Mason will soon settle into your new routine, and the days will pass by quickly... good luck tomorrow at your first day back in the office!

Good luck on your first day back at work. I know they will be so impressed on your killer mom body and your big guns. Ha!

I'll be thinking about you and praying for you. It's an adjustment that I'm still not quite used to, but you will certainly appreciate every moment you have with him. I know that God will bless you and watch over all of you!

Been thinking about you all too...you are a GREAT mom - and like Katie said, Mason knows that! This will be an adjustment for everyone, but God will provide exactly what you, Brad, and Mason need for each day.. All the best during this transition. -LM
