The toughest day of my life

Today I (Kathryn) started my new job as a Contract Specialist at Kidspeace. Unfortunately, I was forced to leave my sweet baby Giada in hands of a day care provider. I certainly missed her (a lot) and cried when I dropped her off....and I was back at lunch time to see her (the teachers must have thought I was crazy but said I am welcome to pop in to see her anytime.) I am confident that she will be fine at the day care, and being enrolled there could potentially help stimulate many aspects of her life that I could not offer if we were home all day such as socialization with other babies. I hate myself for letting someone else care for her during the day in fear that I will miss all the wonderful firsts (rolling over, crawling, speaking, walking, laughing, etc.) So I am praying those firsts happen when Tony and I are with her. I do know the time we will be spending with her will be even more cherished.

So despite my separation issues, we both had a good first day.

I didn't capture any pictures at day care, but we had some adventures the past few weeks...





Visiting Grandma Sena on a gorgeous afternoon...
















Enjoying some QT with Aunt Janet!



















Renee did a fabulous job feeding her cousin and helping babysit.






















Nap time with Grampy is always so much better...




















Gia attended her first Musikfest...now only 21 years until she can legally use her mug for beer!Until then...it's formula!




















And, always traveling in style!
