Back to work!

12 weeks already! I headed back to work this past week on Wednesday. Sometimes the anticipation is worse than the day itself. It was an emotional day, and it was nice to get the first week behind us. I had an amazing time home with my children, and having 3 children has been more fulfilling than I had ever imagined. When you have three children you can get the true essence of family, meaning that you go from "one on one" defense to "zone" defense and you have to work together. I am so lucky to have John as my teammate. Emma and Kate have been wonderful little helpers, and they adore Sage. I also have to thank both of our families for their help, and my opportunities to have "breaks" to get caught up!
The kids will be going to school 3 days a week. Sage's teachers are the same wonderful ladies who took care of Kate, and and we couldn't ask for more caring people. Emma and Kate's teachers walked the girls to the infant room to visit their little brother throughout the day. That was so comforting to me. I also know that the girls' teachers went in to hold him during their breaks - how spoiled are we?! Sage hasn't wanted to sleep a lot at school thus far with all the action around him, but I'm sure a routine is just around the corner. Bless his heart - he started sleeping through the night last weekend. We were getting up 1-2 times a night, then he cranked out 12 hours in a row and hasn't turned back (thank goodness!!!).

Kate's big update is that she is almost fully potty trained! We quickly progressed from panties over our diaper to panties alone. She is very proud of herself and loves her Dora undies! Yeah! Again, a favor of the Lord with perfect timing for everything to come together.
The girls are taking a dance/gymnastics class this winter. They tried out the balance beam and trampolines last week! I'll try to take a video at some point because its adorable!
