Emerson is just the proudest big sister you’ve ever seen, to take her baby sister to school in the mornings. It’s so sweet and precious!

After the shortest eight weeks of my life, Addison started school today, and I had to go back to work. Honestly, my two months of maternity leave flew by way too fast, and I was of course not ready to go back to work. But is any new mom ever really ready for that?! Emerson was super excited to have Addison join her at school today, and was making up cute little songs and singing to her on the couch before we left for school. Even though I’ll be doing all the drop-off’s, I made Jeff follow us to school today so we could all go as a family on Addie’s first day. I thought it would be tough (on me!), but I did great, and didn’t even cry! And Addie also did great!

Hi friends, I’m back after a few days of vacation at the beach with the family. And of course it was super fun, but I’m exhausted! I have tons of photos to share (obviously), and it’s late I have some stuff to do tonight still, so this is mostly a photo dump post, with little writing…
SATURDAY
Got up and dressed and loaded the car, and hit the road. We had to stop halfway to feed Addie a bottle, but the drive was easy and relatively quick.

I love when she first gets released from her swaddle early in the morning, but then she falls back to sleep with her arms up in the air like this.

My big girl was in a good mod as usual, but tried to tell me she couldn’t wear her little biker shorts under her dress today because they were “too snug.” I told her that’s how they were supposed to be, and although she still wasn’t thrilled with it, she did keep them on 🙂

Early yesterday morning, I set up our carafe to have cold brew today, since it takes 24 hours to “brew.” We did this a lot last summer when we were both working from home, but it takes planning ahead an entire day, and we often forget, so this is the first time we’ve done it in quite a long time. But since we remembered to do it yesterday, today, we added the Splenda and hazelnut creamer directly to the carafe, and it was delicious!

Emmie was super happy and sweet this morning! She had a slightly rough drop-off with Daddy, but it wasn’t too bad, and I think she recovered quickly and had a good day at school.
