Pursuit of Poppy

Well, I survived my first few days back at work.  I'm totally exhausted, but it's actually going a lot better than I anticipated.  And Poppy is doing great with all the changes this week.  She is going to a home daycare close to my work 2 days a week.  We were so nervous about putting her in a daycare, but I feel soooo lucky to have found this place (thanks Sarah!).  She absolutely loves it, she's making friends, socializing and learning new things.  And the woman that owns the daycare is my new favorite person.  She holds Poppy and comforts her as often as she needs it, she calls me to let me know that she stopped crying within minutes of me leaving, and she emails me updates all day and even sends pictures and videos of what Poppy has been up to.  Oh, and did I mention that she holds Poppy and lays down with her until she falls asleep during naptime?!  Seriously, this woman is awesome!  And then on the other days, she is being watched by my parents and Marc's mom.  So basically she is spoiled silly by all of her granparents 3 days a week.  We all still have a lot of adjusting to do, but it really is going good so far.

And before I headed back to work, I wanted to make a trip up to Toronto for some shopping and sushi.  So off we went this past weekend...



And check out this pic taken at the same place last year... what a difference a year can make!
