Still Here

Remember when I said about twice a year work gets really crazy? Well, this past week it has happened. Both Derek and I are extremely busy at work. I have my fingers crossed that it will slow down for me next week, but Derek will be crazy busy until the end of September.

Payton is just a growing and going. Today she started music again. I haven't had time to download any new pictures, but I do have new cell phone pics from my mom.


Here she is from today at her first music class. Look at her crazy hair. I guess we should be happy she has hair. The little boy in the background is probably jealous.






Here is Payton eating on Sunday. I didn't get to my mom's house until 11:00 p.m. on Sunday night from work. Therefore, my mom had to feed her dinner. When my mom text me this picture on Sunday I started crying because I missed her so much.





I also want to say a big THANK YOU to my mom. Derek and I had to work both Saturday and Sunday to get ready for separate trials / mediations that were coming up this week. That being said, my mom watched Payton for us when we were at work. My mom already watches Payton during the week; therefore, she didn't get a day off at all last week. My mom keeps telling me not to worry because she loves watching Payton, but it just breaks my heart because (1) I miss my daughter and (2) I want my mom to have some time just for herself.

Derek and I truly could not have the professions we have without my mom. THANK YOU MOM and I LOVE YOU.
