I cannot believe that my maternity leave is coming to an end. It seems like yesterday that it started. I look forward to seeing my students again, but will miss my Zooey more than anything. I have always been one of those girls that said I would want to work and have my career even after I had kids, but now I would love to be a stay at home mom. Thankfully Zooey will be able to stay home with Grandma and Daddy some of the time that I am at work. I'm sure we will get our schedule in order and everything will fall into place. Plus....the income and health insurance is a must; I cannot deny my baby that. However, I cannot lie....I have already started counting down to Spring Break.
On Valentine's Day Ben and I were able to go out in the afternoon to listen to jazz and eat Pasta House. Zooey was able to spend time with her Grandma and Grandpa! Then we got a special call from my cousins Michael and Rachel. We decided to join them and Zooey's cousin baby Carli at their Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's house. While there Zooey was also able to meet her Great Uncle Bob and visit her Great Aunt Angie and Uncle Mike. She was ready for a nap but we all insisted that she pose for a picture with her cousin Carli.
