Lots of changes...but we are all surviving!

I went back to work last Thursday and we have been busy, busy, busy! It's definitely going to take some time and adjustment to get used to our new routine and schedule! MaMaw came to stay with Colton last Thursday and Friday and then he started daycare on Monday. Grant was so excited to have Colton going to school with him, but there were lots of tears from me on the way there on Monday morning. I am very happy to say that Colton is adjusting very well. He is usually smiling and watching the other kids when I leave him each morning so that makes it easier. His teachers have said that he is doing really well and Grant gets to go in and visit him a few times during the day:) MaMaw is going to come once a week and rotate keeping Grant or Colton for the day and MiMi is also going to start coming some during the week so that will give them some one-on-one time during the week too which will be great.

Brandon's work schedule has changed so I am taking them each morning and going in to work later and Brandon is picking them up. Getting used to the new schedule, getting myself and the boys out the door by 7:15, and Brandon getting off work on time to pick them up hasn't been the easiest task and we are still working on making the schedule work. There are also so many chores to do in the evenings now (washing bottles, making dinner, doing laundry, getting everything ready for the next day, bath time and bed time x2) but we are still trying to spend as much quality time with the boys as possible. I have been really busy at work so that does help the day go by more quickly and it keeps me from thinking about how Colton is doing all day. I have to say that it has been great to see everyone at work again, but it has been just as difficult to leave Colton as it was to leave Grant.

I do feel so fortunate though to have such a great place for both of them to go each day and family available to help us out. Ultimately I know they are both fine...playing, learning and growing all day long.
