Day One of work went well. It was all orientation, a.k.a. boring but needed information. Day 2 through 5 will be more filled with therapy and getting my new schedule set up. For Madelyn, Day 1 was a little overwhelming. Although I couldn't be there to really get full insight, I know that after a rough night and a full day of daycare, she was EXTREMELY exhausted. The teacher report is that "Madelyn cried off and on, but that is normal until she gets used to everything" and that "she is a really smart little girl" :) Ah, proud Mommy and Daddy moment... Of course, we already knew that!
Our last week at home together was pretty uneventful. Lots of little odds and ends trying to get the house set up (and its still not finished). As excited as I was to finish Madelyn's room, it is half way there. Hopefully you'll all get to see it very soon. Unfortunately, a 15-month old does not let you do "as planned" most days. She has been fighting her molars for weeks now. With fevers and lots of evident pain, both the top ones are part-way through; however, we fear this may continue for some time yet. All this also made for a rough way to start out in daycare - poor baby.
One successful project was the toy shelf that Maddy happily took part in. It is a great space for all those toys we seem to have accumulated though!
Happily put the screws in those lil holes. So talented!
Right here Mommy?
Madelyn plays in 2 kitchen cupboards andapparently thought we built this one just for her too! :)
Again, Madelyn is up to antics with all those babies. She is always placing one or two in this walker, and desperately wanted them all in there. With a little help from Daddy, she was very proud of this success!
Finally, we thought we'd share a bit of our Sunday routine lately. This is the only day we've really had any "down" time lately. Shaye gets the morning paper and we enjoy some coffee and breakfast over the paper and sale ads. Well, this week, Madelyn really wanted to take part!
She's gonna be a bargain shopper ;-)Off to bed for this working lady! We will see you all more next week and may seriously need to consider posting these on Sundays now...
Our love to you all,
Jody, Shaye, Madelyn, and Daisy
Our love to you all,

Glad to hear the first day went as well as can be expected for first days for both of you! The house will get done, even if that means I need to come back and help! :-)
Tell Maddy that her auntie is waiting to take her shopping to see what deals we can find!!
Good luck with the rest of the week!
Hugs and Kisses--Love you!
She seems to have her papa's talent (screw driver in hand). And so serious with the ads :) XOXOXO
