I made it, and other random things

I survived my first day back to work yesterday. The day consisted of filling out paperwork so I'm looking forward to actually learning something today. I also have to have my picture taken for various cards I must obtain as a civilian employee on post. Two highlights of my new job are that I can wear whatever I want to work (I can wear jeans and tennis shoes every day!!!) and I'll be working 8:30 - 3:30.

We've decided to not send our kids to a center based daycare. I couldn't get Abigail back into daycare, so they will both be going to an in home provider. I didn't want to split them up, not to mention the fact that it's going to save us a bunch of money in the long run. I'll be meeting with our new provider tonight and the kids will start going on Monday. She comes very highly recommended, so I'm hoping it works out. Michael stayed home with the kids yesterday and will be doing the same today.

December is the month for birthdays in my family. Happy Birthday to Uncle Aaron and Ashley today. There were three birthdays on the 12th, two today and one tomorrow.

I'll leave you with a not so great picture of the kids this morning. They weren't too thrilled about me taking their picture at 6:00 in the morning. But after all, aren't the pictures what you come to the blog for anyway????
