Family

We realized yesterday that we hadn't yet gotten a good picture of the four of us and thought that church today would give us the perfect opportunity; we'd all be dressed up AND there'd be plenty of people around to take the picture! (FYI, I uploaded the picture at full size for anyone who wanted a copy.)


Surprisingly we managed to get to church early enough to deal with the 5-10 minutes of well-wishers on our way into the sanctuary (people at our church LOVE kids and they're all pretty much our second family so we figured it would take us a long time this morning). We all survived the service surprisingly well with Daddy taking "Anna duty" and Mommy taking "Kate duty". By the way, the matching dresses were a hit (thanks, Grandma!)

Our transitions are going fairly well as a family, with me having moments of "this can work" and other moments of "what did we get ourselves into?!". Hopefully the workable moments come more frequently.

Much to our dismay, Matt is going back to work on Tuesday; he has some training that would be really helpful for him to attend. My mom is coming down at about 3 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon so I'll get a trial run of what life may be like in the future. She's then going to stick around until Friday to help out and remind me to rest :) Hopefully, Matt will be able to take more FMLA time later this summer ... we'll just have to wait and see!
