One Final Outing

Today the girls and I met mom and dad at the zoo. I go back to work on Friday, so it was our last outing of my maternity leave:( It was also Payton's first time at the zoo (well, out in the real world that is...she took a few trips while in my belly). It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time. Payton was a super good girl, she only had to eat twice and just let her "mark" a few places around the zoo. Riley was her usual big girl self and had a blast having fun with Grammy and Papa. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and I am sad that it is our last big during the week adventure. It guess that is the life of a working mom though. Fortunately I will have many long weekends and breaks ahead of me. And school will be a quarter of the way done at the end of my first week. I think I can do it:) Mom is also going to be a HUGE help in helping me with this transition. She is going to stay with us for that first week, so Payton can have a week to adjust a bit to having me gone and so I can adjust to being a working mom again before having to get 2 to daycare. She really is the BEST...I know I say that a lot, but I really mean it.
