First Week Back, SGD, BB, and a Social!

Well I made it through my first week back at work. My school family is awesome...I missed them a lot, my kids were so sweet, and I'm a nerd that loves paperwork and I had data waiting on me to enter and RTI meetings to jump right into. Anna Claire did great at daycare. Sunday night and Monday were the hardest. I cried a lot! Poor MC kept saying, it will be ok mommy! And I knew it would, but it was still sad to leave my babies after two glorious months with them. I especially miss our mornings. Waking up around 7-8 and getting MC ready for school, eating breakfast together and just taking it easy. Watching morning shows and snuggling with Anna Claire! Anyway, I wasn't too tired and I felt pretty on top of things by Friday. It should just get easier! 4:00 can't come soon enough each day for sure!

Molly Caroline at 8 weeks and Anna Claire at 10 weeks! First day of daycare! 
:(

Barberitos night was my first week back too!


My neighbors and I planned a night out at Sweet Grass Dairy to celebrate me making it through my first week! So much fun and such good food!

Friday night Matt and I went to JSLs annual Bargain Bazaar with our neighbors Katie and Kyle. We each picked out one toy for MC! Matt chose a mini dyson and I chose a Mickey Mouse clubhouse. I also got outfits for both girls (one had a stain but was bailey boys and only $1, so I decided to chance it) and a picnic table for the back porch of my classroom. We had a good time!

Saturday night we had a social and played the not so newlywed game!! It was pretty funny. We came in third...should've been first! Haha



Sunday after church we all hung out and ate leftover soup from the social. It was a great weekend!

Shots, family fun, big girl bed, and MJC!

My last Friday on maternity leave...
Sweet little Anna Claire had her two month shots and we'll check! She is healthy and in the fifth percentile for weight. We have her spitting up under control with Zantac and she is finally gaining a little faster! Her skinny little leg was bruised and swollen after! Broke my heart! 

Matt's two sisters and our niece and nephew came to visit from Atlanta! I planned some fun activities....Leap Frogz, storytime at the Bookshelf, making pizzas, etc! Most of all the sweet cousins had a blast playing with each other!



MC told us she wanted to nap in her big girl room, not her crib, so just like that she transitioned on her own! 

Matt's Missouri family drove up from Destin for the day on Saturday. They brought Anna Claire this precious swimsuit! All of my pictures with them are on my good camera!


I just wish we lived closer to family because MC asks about her cousins daily! They are so sweet to her and she loves them so much! 

I couldn't resist coordinating outfits for the girls this release! I'm not always a huge MJC fan...the patterns have to be pretty, not dull, and I can't stand little buttons all over the front of the outfits....however I usually like a few things every release. MC and I had fun looking at all the clothes Sunday at a little release party! Precious spring patterns, right?

Hanging things, breakfast, smiles, and Lilly!

Since I'm going back to work on Monday I felt the need to designate hooks for the girls "packs" and winter gear. I also assigned a hook for Matt and one for me. :) I'm sure Matt was thrilled to learn about  our new mud room system. Haha

Woodland Spode is one of my favorites and my parents gave me this platter for my birthday. Matt hung it for me and I'm in love!

I hung a Valentine's banner in the play room. 

We went to breakfast downtown this week. I'm trying to make the most of being off on the week days! It was yummy and fun!





Anna Claire smiles so big! Her dimple Is precious too! Love my sweet  girl!


I love this sweet smile too! She's looking too grown! She requested to get her picture made before school this week.



And...Anna Claire got her first Lilly! A friend of mine from high school has two little girls both about a year older than my two. She lives in Savannah, but was selling it shipped for a great price! Thankfully my mother in law offered to buy it! I can't wait for Spring Break!

The countdown is on!



Fuller House on Netflix! I was in kindergarten or first grade when Full House came out and the show just defines my childhood. I remember going to Brownies on Friday afternoons and either watching it with my family or watching it with friends. Piled up in the living room with sleeping bags. Ordering pizza! We never missed TGIF...EVER! I'm pretty sure it was a thing all throughout elementary school.

Every time I see this teaser I cry. Oh the memories! I recognize all the voices! The house! The golden retriever! You better believe our family will be having a TGIF party when this comes on in Feb. Complete with pizza and blankets on the floor. I. Can't. Wait.
