Labor Day Photo Shoot

We laid pretty low this Labor Day weekend. On Saturday we went to go visit Pop Pop in rehab for his knee surgery. Then Sunday, Jim had to do a lot of work on the pool, installing the new cover and getting it ready for closing. And, finally Monday we just kind of relaxed and Sophie had a long afternoon nap (she didn't get great sleep this weekend sadly). Late in the day we went outside to sit on a blanket in the lovely sunny afternoon. Jim took some really wonderful photos with the digital SLR. I wish I could post them all for you here. If you want to see more, check out the Smug Mug album.

This is the first week that Sophie will be in daycare three days. It breaks our hearts to have her in there more. Today I went to visit her at lunch and she was obviously crying all morning and sort of doing her upset chest heaving thing. It was awful. By the time I got her in the end of the day she seemed much better. Tomorrow, thankfully I'll have a work from home day with her but then she goes back into daycare for Thurs. and Fri. Sigh... It will be hard on us to have her in there two days in a row. But, maybe it will be good for her in the long-run for getting used to the new routine. Last week she missed a whole week of daycare because I kept her home on Tuesday after she started spiking a fever the next day and feeling generally miserable after her last round of Prevnar on Monday afternoon. Then, on Thursday daycare was closed for an in-service day. So it's sort of like she had to start all over again this week. That being the case, she didn't do too bad but Jim and I still feel awful knowing how upset she is in there sometimes.

Anyway, here are the photos from the Labor Day Photo Shoot. Aren't they wonderful? They make me smile...(Can you see the sweet potato stuck to her left eyelid in some of them??)
