Back to Work

This week I was back at work, Stella started daycare part-time and Abram went back to his regular schedule with Nana.  

I was sad to leave my babies but I work with a wonderful group of people.  They had cupcakes on my first day back - who couldn't love that?

I put up the picture below in my office which helps me when I'm missing their adorableness.

After going back to work I went on and on to Josh about how I feel guilty when I'm at work thinking about the babies and then I feel guilty when I'm home with them and thinking about work stuff.   I spent a good 10 minutes explaining the how I felt and how it's so hard, etc., etc., etc.   Josh hadn't said anything up to this point so I asked him, "Don't you feel guilty about leaving the kids during the day?"  

"Nope"

Ugh, men.

 Stella has been full of smiles and giggles lately.  She also loves flirting with her papa. 

I'm so happy that Abram and I can share our love of sweet corn.  It's one of the perks of living in Iowa.

Abram has spent a fair amount of time in his sandbox lately. He has to get out in the morning because by noon it's way too hot to be outside.

Today I brought  home a Halloween costume from a co-worker (thanks Kelly!) whose son has outgrown it.  I think it is Stitch from Lilo and Stitch.   

Abram has not seen Lilo and Stitch but it did not stop him from wanting to try on the costume as soon as I got home.  He then ran around the house, the best he could since the costume is too long, 'getting' everyone and growling at us.

It was pretty darn adorable.

What's not love about this face!
