Back to School

     Wow...it has been too long!  We have officially started school which means that I'm back to work after an amazing (almost) four months at home with Henry.  Robert and I are sort of in a daycare crisis at the moment.  The school where I teach has a daycare facility because it is a teenage pregnancy center.  Last year, we decided that's where Henry would go...we thought it would be great since I could go see him any time of day.  Other teachers who've kept their kids there said it was fantastic, and that they loved having their children so close.
   Needless to say, that was NOT the case.  It was literally one of the worst days of my life.  I think he screamed all day, and there was not adequate staffing or care.  He didn't even look like himself when I picked him up.  Thank the Lord that Sandra and Jim were in town, because if they weren't I was going to walk into my principal's office and quit my job.  So now mom, Maryellen, and Aunt Mary are rotating up to Melbourne every week until we find a nanny or someone who does home care.
   I've learned my lesson.  I have to work, but I also want my child to receive the best care possible.  I miss him so much during the day.  I really wish I was able to be home with him, but on the other hand I'm blessed to have a job.  We are truly blessed to have such an amazing and supportive family!

     Other than the craziness of going back to work/daycare-dilemna/no more dairy for mommy, Henry is a very happy four month old!  I feel like he does something new everyday, and it is so much fun to watch!  He had his first belly laugh tonight...my new favorite thing.  Please keep us in your prayers, and if you have any daycare suggestions/solutions send them our way!
