11 weeks: Back to school...not for me!

This past week has been pretty uneventful in the Clark household.  I think we both are getting into the groove of parenthood and had a relatively mellow week.  Trey and I continued to walk almost every day (got to figure out what to do when it starts raining), Trey continues to be a champion night sleeper (don't want to talk about this too much because I don't want to jinx it), and I am continuing to love being a mom more and more.

A strange thing for me this week is that everyone is heading back to school and I am still home.  It's the first time since kindergarten that I have not returned to school in the fall.  On one hand, I feel like I will be out of the loop at work and it will be strange to not be there every day.  On the other, I can't imagine leaving Trey right now and am so grateful that I will be home with him until the first week of December.  As a woman and probably more as a type A personality, I have been thinking about what it will be like when I go back to work and someone else spends the majority of Trey's waking hours with him.  I started to cry at Winco on Monday thinking about this...and that led to me thinking about my mom not being here which made it worse on the way home.  Very odd emotional moment for me...hormones?  Or maybe just the anticipation of another huge life change and this time one I'm not very excited for.  As Randy pointed out, I am home for another 12 weeks and don't need to cry yet...I know, I know.

Thursday I went to lunch with Michele (who brought Esme)

 and Sarah (who brought Audrey and Baby Maya) from work.

Here is Trey with Michele and Esme.  

For those of you who hear me talk about Michele all of the time, this is her. 

I try not to pay too much attention to "the books" (ha, who are we kidding), but I have realized that I am cheating Trey out of his "tummy time".  I've been working on giving him more...one day Tango decided that he also wanted to participate.

On Friday Trey and I went to Woodburn to visit with some Nellie Muir friends.  I love seeing them and I love how much they love Trey.  He was a rock star and slept on the way down and back and was a joy while we were at Ardis' house.  Maria, Dora, and Lori got to meet Trey for the first time which was so fun for me.

Here is Trey with Dora.  

It was a little hot out, so we stripped Trey down to his diaper.  

He was so much happier after that.

I have some more pictures to post, but Randy needs to do something with our computer before it will work.  Stay tuned...well, the photos don't seem to be available...
