Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's off to work we go

Well, the day that I dreaded for months as come and gone and we all survived! I started back to work yesterday. Before Josiah was born I remember thinking that it would be nice to have some time off but that I would surely be answering emails and responding to work requests well before my actual return date and that by the time September 17th rolled around I might be glad to actually be back in the office to handle some of these things. WRONG-O! The moment he was born I dreaded the day I'd have to leave him and thought that I might not emotionally be able to handle it....ever. Luckily, that is not the case:-) First of all, we are extremely blessed that our daycare will be done by Josiah's 2 doting grandmas! Instead of worrying about whether he will be neglected or mistreated, we only have to "worry" about whether he'll be too spoiled! Secondly, he is not really on any schedule yet due to the fact that we were on the go quite a bit while I was off work so a more regular schedule will be a good thing! So, despite a few teary moments yesterday (from me, not Josiah...visual evidence below), overall it was a successful transition and we survived the day! Below is a picture collage that my mom sent me part way through the day to "prove" that he was doing just fine and having a blast with Nana and Auntie Blair! Now, if I can just concentrate on work as hard as Josiah is concentrating on "playing" the piano, we'll all be in good shape!

How wonderful he has y'all's moms to keep him everyday! My grandmother stayed with me everyday until I was 4, and I still remember certain things we did together. Josiah looked so happy!
