So.....drum roll....I announce my return to cyberspace. I do have a good excuse, though! In the past 3 weeks I have returned back to work, Mackenzie started daycare, Josh managed his first end of the fiscal year at UM, and the 3 of us packed up and headed to Orlando for a week for the annual NACDA Conference.
A run down of each:
Return to work-Once I got there....awesome. I am excited to be back, and am thrilled that I am able to contribute. I even signed up my 1st Golden Cane!
Mackenzie at daycare-She is happy when she gets there and she is happy when we pick her up. Her teachers adore her...and they have taught us quite a bit about caring for a baby. I showed up the first day with 6 bottles and instructions to feed her every 2 hours. By Day 2, Ms. Annie and Ms. Newheart kindly informed me that she really only ate every 3 hours, and 6 bottles were a little too much. By Day 3, they let me know that her pacifier was too heavy. By the 4th week, Mackenzie had her 1st runny nose and cough. As I dutifully described her symptoms to Ms. Newheart, she asked me if Mackenzie had a fever. I lied and said 'no,' not because she had a fever-but because taking her temperature had never even occurred to me.
Josh's 1st end of year at UM-Done. His supportive spouse is tired of hearing/talking about it.
The Boones go to NACDA-An incredible week to learn, reconnect with our buddies, talk to new folks, and stay out late once Mackenzie's GG got into town. Side note: thank goodness for grandparents! Mackenzie also enjoyed the night life (until 7pm), and absolutely loved people watching in the hotel lobbies (where all the action is) and the vendor hall. And, since the convention was in Orlando, there were Mouse ears involved.
welcome back! i read you, too! and have missed your posts :)
