Back to work

So I went to work for a few days right after Jonathan was born because we had so many hands helping out. And I took all of last week off so Andy and I could get settled and comfortable as a family of four. Monday (today) rolled around and it was back to the daily grind. I drove Oscar to school and then went to work right after - the only difference is Andy is home alone with a newborn.

Our house is kind of a disaster right now. Clothes pile up and dishes remain dirty. Our main goal is to keep Oscar and Jonathan fed and happy. The rest will be dealt with later and eventually we'll get our flow back. All this scrambling reminds me of the amazing angels we had helping out the first week. You've already heard about Erica and Mindy, but I would be foolish to not mention the amazing and incredible hard work put forth by my mom. I've never seen anyone work so continuously. Whether it was playing with Oscar, helping us find something in our crazy garage or just holding the baby, my mom knocked it out of the park. And I guess not having her here makes me appreciate all that she was doing to keep us moving forward.

I know we'll figure it out, but it helps to have a parent around continuing to be there as a support and your biggest fan. Oh and thanks, Dad, for playing with Oscar. It was a tough first week made easier by you giving him your undivided attention. I've told you before and I'll tell you again, I'm incredibly lucky that your both mine and I am grateful to have you as role models for Andy and me.
