Happy Halloween from T the Chili

Earrings

So, I must admit that my attention to detail when it comes to looking "put together" for work every morning has been slipping. Monday morning, Tobias and I slept in a bit longer than usual and I'm proud to say that from wake up to daycare drop-off was less than 1 hour. However, as I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror heading for the door, I decided the look was crossing the line from new, sleep deprived mom to Saturday morning I-don't-care look.
Solution: add a pair of earrings. I said to myself "I hope others will think, 'At least she's trying.'"

On a Roll

I think this is my first video insert to the blog, so I'm keeping it short. This was captured a few weeks ago.

How sweet it is!

Every Tuesday at 8:58pm I marvel that Tobias came into our lives. Today marks sweet 16 (weeks, that is).

Walkin in the Woods

Saturday we had a chance to get outside and enjoy the wonderful fall weather:

Looks comfy, doesn't it?

Wow

Check out the gas price by our house.

Fun at the Farm

Saturday we trekked out to a farm near Eau Claire to meet the A's & Grandpa & Grandma Berge & Great-Grandma Crater. Tons of fun for the kids plus a pumpkin canon that shot pumpkins approx. 300 yards or so. Cool stuff.

Quite smart already.

Done and Done

And I even returned for my 2nd day of work.

Quarter Year

Well, this marks 3 months of having our lives flipped upside down. T-bird spent his first full day at daycare and I went back to work (I didn't even cry - although I may now as I think about all the support we've received from our friends and family!)

An Epic Return

Sorry, the title may gag my co-workers :)


My friends at the office sure made it as easy as possible to return to work. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, kindness and (of course) chocolate! I'm even planning to do it all again tomorrow, but this time I'll get some work done.
