Yup, after two days of new teacher orientation, I am officially a back-to-work mama. It's a tough transition(on mostly Jim and me...) but Riley seems to be enjoying "school" so far so we're happy. It's been going pretty well at daycare- he doesn't cry when we drop him off and he's really happy to see us at the end of the day, so what else could we ask for? (Well, there are a few minor issues we'd like to address after an actual full week there but we're waiting b/c a) we want to see if the issues continue when the "B" team of summer caretakers leave and the "A" team arrives and b) we understand that there's a big learning curve for taking care of someone else's baby and we don't want to seem like nitpicking jerks. School for me is crazy but I've been gearing up, however unwillingly, for the chaos that will be my life for the next month or so while I settle back into classroom life. I have freshman so that's nice b/c the pretty much will have their tails between there legs until say, Christmas break or so.
Anyway, here's some pics of "the last days of summer":

We got to meet little Isaac! It was very nice to hold a little bean again and Riley contained himself and did not smack him as he did when he met his new cousin John a few weeks ago.
