Her first school pics!!

I have what feels like, a million things going on right now. I had projects thrown at me at work, house hunting is NOT my friend right now (let alone our Realtor, but that's another post) and projects that need to get done on the side. Yesterday was a pretty crappy day...till I came home to these beauties. Vayda's preschool pictures! I'd say her first picture day went waaaay better than all of mine combined haha.

What a way to whip my day around, right? I freaking love that little smile! Today is trying to go the same direction as yesterday so I'm going to keep starring at those pictures ;). 

Also, did you have a chance to check out my sister's etsy?! Her french press covers a selling really well! :) 

visit her shop now :) 

Happy hump day!

"Oh the Places You Will Go"

(btw, Vayda really said that lol, I asked her 3 times to make sure! hahaha)

Last Monday was Vayda's first day of Preschool! I was fine and more excited than anything for her...She's been so ready for school! Vic, well, he was not taking it so easy lol. Vayda I think was more excited than ever to have new friends.

new school kicks

I got to drop her off, pick her up and catch up on how it went all on the ride home. But it quickly went back to normal the next day and it hit me...my baby is in school! Because of my work schedule and her school schedule I can't drop her off and pick her up...isn't that what moms do?!? I was a mess that Tuesday. Emotional mess to say the least. It was hard getting over the fact that I can't watch her and see how she's interacting with the kids and her teachers the entire time...and making sure she's paying attention, ugh that's the hardest. I have to let go a little. It's not the first time, but the first time I had to, it was when I came back to work and she was with family. I don't think it gets better than that. This time it's with strangers :(. I'm not there to make sure  she's not in danger, being impolite, not eating or has dirty hands. This is not fair, but this is life. All I can do is trust that she's being watched over. You better believe my mama bear instincts are higher than ever now =P.

night before her first day :)
