Last Day of School...

Today was our last day of Mommy and Me school. (They will actually meet one more week (June 3rd), but I start back to work on Tuesday, June 1st.) We had a great time at class meeting other moms and babies. It was fun to hear stories very similar to ours and about what we could expect in the weeks to come! It is very reassuring to know that others are going through and experiencing some of the same things as us. Too often we wonder are we doing things right? What is wrong? Why is she so fussy? Why don't I ever get anything else done during the day? This group of women, and our facilitator Lisa, became a very comfortable group and place to be on Thursday mornings. Where else can you have a crying baby, change a diaper and/or breastfeed in front of a bunch of people and feel comfortable doing so? We have already gone out to lunch together, met at MOA to walk (we fit 8 moms and 8 strollers in one elevator!) and have discussed setting up a trip to the MN Zoo in June. Larkyn and I feel very blessed to have met such a fun group of ladies and babies. We look forward to many more "playdates" together in the future!

It looks like Joseph is telling McKenna a secret and Ethan and Esmae are sharing secrets too! Larkyn is too busy holding hands with Kieran:)


Ethan and Esmae are all about the secrets!

Do we look like our Daddy's or what?
