Reality is setting in...boo hoo...

My week off from work is suddenly coming to a close and reality of going back to work/giving Erika up is starting to set in. I have enjoyed these past 9 days with her so much that it makes me teary eyed. I feel like I just can't get enough of hugging and kissing her. I try to remind myself that in 3 months I will be off for the entire summer with her. If I have to work, teaching is the best job! I know that once I get back into routine, all will be fine but I get sad just thinking about being away from her.
Today we ran some errands together because the boys have been working on the kitchen again. It is coming along so nice and I am very excited for it to be complete. At the same time though it is a strange/sad feeling I get because we used some money that my grandfather left me when he passed away. I know in my heart he wants me to be happy but I just wish he was here so much more than having a new kitchen. In the meantime, our new appliances came yesterday and they are beautiful. It's so strange how a person can feel happy and so sad at the same time. In the picture below of Erika and I you can see the new appliances. They aren't fully installed yet, but they are here!
Below are a few pictures of Erika when we were out running errands together. In the first one you can see her smile behind the pacifier. So cute!

I know how much your grandfather meant to you but you are right, he would want you to be happy no matter what it was. I am glad that you and Erika had this week to hang out and that the summer will bring more free time for the two of you. I love her hair being up in that little barrett.
