The End of Maternity

Laurie returned to work today with much fanfare from her boss and co-workers. This only overlapped Cort's summer class by three days, so starting Friday he will still have two-plus weeks to stay home with Naomi before his fall classes start. We have had a wonderful summer together, as all four of us have been home 24/7 for the better part of three months. It's been wonderful, even with all of the transitions that have occurred.

Everyone seems happy to be awake so early on Laurie's first day back.



















Simon discovered a new and interesting way to eat pizza. You have probably heard of Chicago style pizza and New York style pizza. I think Simon was going for "LA Style" pizza with this look (notice the INVERTED huge sunglasses).















Simon wrote a lower-case "a" (and an "f", a "b", and a "d") all by himself for the first time last night. He was pretty stoked.

We get a short vacation to Land Between the Lakes with Cort's fam this weekend. Hopefully, there will be some pics of Simon's first fishing trip!
