Transitions

Wow...where to start. It's been awhile! I love the Christmas season and spending time with family and friends, and this year has been awesome. We are so blessed with such wonderful people in our lives. After all of the things that our little family has gone through this year, we come to the end of it and praise the Lord for all He has done. I've said it before and I'll say it again: God is good.

Mitch took this week off of work and it's been so nice. This is our last week of 'normal' before life changes again because I go back to work on Tuesday and Mitch's shift changes from working 5 days a week to 4 (just longer hours). He's going to be spending a day at home a week with Tyler while I work, which is SUCH a blessing. I have to admit, I'm completely torn between excitement for my new job and sadness at having to give up some of my days at home with Tyler. I do know though that all of us will benefit from this new arrangement.

We're working on partially weaning Tyler so that he can take a bottle during the day while I'm gone and we're both finding it a little rough. I read somewhere that this can be an emotional transition, and who am I to say no to a good cry? I'm thankful that Mitch can be around during this. It's nice to have this quiet family time before we step over the edge into the unknown.

Ha, how's that for being a little over dramatic? Let's face it: as long as I still have time to have brunch with my mat leave girls on my days off I can survive anything :)
