This Mama Returns to Work

After three months of lovely maternity leave, today I returned to work.



Lots of kisses


All dressed up and armed with snacks and breastpump



Chris and Avery walked me down to my carpool spot ([yawn] goodbye already, Papa and I have hardware stores to visit)

How Many Averys...Averies?

Inspired by dear friends, Tim and Katie, we experimented for an afternoon with what it would be like to run an Avery-only in-home daycare. We realized that not only are we grossly outnumbered, but we just don't have the childproof house required for such a bevy of babies.

So after a few minutes, we gave the other Averies away and kept our original. We just felt extremely grateful that Christine is not Nadya Suleman. Now wouldn't that be a crazy birth announcement?
