Today started bright and early with the girls. Boo for that. The first item on our agenda was a quick breakfast because we were off to Amelia's baptism preparation class at 11:30. My mom was going to come over to watch Olivia for us while we were at class, but she ended up feeling ill today, so that left us scrambling to figure something out this morning. Luckily it turns out Christian's mom didn't have to work today, and since his dad was there as well, they were able to take both girls while we went to class. It was also good practice for them for when I go back to work...his mom is REALLY nervous about taking both girls!
The class went really well. We really like the church. We got to meet the pastor, his wife and a lot of the staff and program volunteers during the class. Everybody seems so nice and inviting, and the church offers a TON of activities and events for the whole family. I think it's going to be a great fit for us, and it's only a few blocks away from our house! I'm really excited. I just have to call the baptism coordinator tomorrow to finalize the details. I can't wait for Amelia's big day!
After class, Christian quickly mowed the lawn while I ran to Target for the usuals. It was nice to mozy around Target, childless, taking my time and enjoying all of the things I could not buy! After the lawn was finished, Christian was off to pick up the girls. I put everything away and cleaned up the house a bit when I got home from shopping. Finally, we were all home and settled in around dinner time. We cooked, ate, played a little, read the new books I bought Olivia from the Dollar Spot a MILLION times, then it was time for baths and bed! Another busy day comes to a close.
Starting tomorrow I have 3 weeks left of maternity leave...WOW that's going fast! It's bittersweet, I'm getting anxious to get back to work, back to the real work, back into a routine, back to adults and leaving the house every day. But, I'm going to miss my baby girl so much, and I know how much harder life is going to get as soon as I go back...THAT, I'm not looking forward to!
Amelia and I took a little cat nap on the couch together this morning...until Olivia lovingly woke us up :)
