What a bust our 4th of July holiday was. A few weeks ago, my mom and dad had offered to come down and watch the baby for the day so we could take our canoe out on the river with some friends. At the beginning of the week they were calling for rain showers, but I tried to stay optimistic that it would just be thunder showers and we could still go. No such luck. It rained and rained and rained some more. So much so that I thought I may just pull my hair out from sitting here and watching the rain. Bleh. My mom and dad still came down and we tried to enjoy the day but it was so frustrating. We had bought a huge pork loin that we were going to grill and we ended up just cooking it in the oven. Stupid weather.
I'm coming upon my last full week of maternity leave. Wah. I don't even really want to talk about it, but I went and visited with the daycare on Wednesday. All the girls there are really nice, I'm just having some personal issues about leaving my baby.
Dillon's mom and dad got to come down and visit this week, too, so we've had a nice time with lots of visitors. We know that our little boy is going to grow up with lots of love surrounding him and what a wonderful thing that is.
I really don't have much of an update, but we have taken some really cute pictures this week so I just want to share those. My soul is sad about leaving Luke at daycare and returning to work. After I went to visit daycare, I stopped by the office I work at. One of our patients asked where he'd be when I returned and I told her daycare. She went on and on about how that's not the ideal situation. She was trying to be nice, I know, and really I agree with her, but I don't know any other options right at this moment. And her comments just pushed the knife in a little further. Oh well... here are some pictures to brighten your day!

I remember when I had to leave both girls and go back to work-I cried all the way up the interstate!! Hang in there it will get better! He is adorable.
