3 Weeks to 9 Months

I feel like the luckiest mom in the world! I know I've mentioned this before, but Matt and I have really good friends in the area who have babies of their own born within 7 weeks of Violet :) And through those friends we've met MORE! Yesterday was our 2nd grand play date, hosted at our house! There were 8 babies total, but one had to leave before the picture was taken (there were a few who couldn't make it, too!). These mommy's are beautiful, phenomenal, and inspiring :)

All these women are juggling mommy hood with working :) It's incredibly amazing to have so many ladies to talk to about the everyday ups and downs of being a mom, wife, sister, daughter, and friend. Not to mention getting to see so many cute babies! I can see how staying home to raise your kiddos could be lots of fun when surrounded by babies AND adults to talk to!

As for me, I'll be returning to work on August 6th, a mere 5 1/2 weeks around the corner. I'm returning to a fantastic .9 schedule which for me, will be Monday - Thursday, 9 hour days. I can't say that I'm super excited about work, but I AM excited that Violet will get to socialize with other kiddos everyday while I'm gone (a speech therapists DREAM) :) I can't wait to see what new skills she'll pick up on! Our day care woman (miss Veronica) is warm, kind, and loving :) We chose well :) You know those people in the world who hug you even though you've only just met? That's miss Veronica :)
