Highlights & lowlights.

Chris & I stay busy and having a newborn makes the days even more of a blur.  My Husband will be returning to work this week after a month of glorious baby bonding time thanks to California's Paid Family Leave.  I love having him home!  I tell him to start blogging so he can quit his job.  And then we both laugh.

I'm scheduled to return back to work on September 1st but it looks like I'll be taking a year off to be a SAHM!  I want to enjoy my little baby!  This is new territory for me because I've been working since I was 14.  We're also venturing into homeschooling Duke for 1st grade.  I attended our county's home ed orientation on Wednesday and I think we made the right decision.  We're assigned a teacher and check-in with her once a month, they provide books and we plan the curriculum together.  Duke can also attend class a couple times a week.  And I'll be back in school in the Fall so being off work for a year makes sense.  ( Remind me that I said all this in case I start freaking out in a couple months. )     

I haven't been to an art show, gallery or museum in months and it makes me sick.  I need art.  Maybe that's why Dr. Google says I have Postpartum Vertigo.  Or maybe I need to remember to caffeinate.
( I did see a Dr. yesterday - it is Vertigo.  He didn't prescribe meds but told me to do head exercises. )

We found this vintage chair at a thrift store for $25.  It's gorgeous.  Hubby snapped this before it went into our storage.  Love that he can shoot.

Another use for Talenti plastic jar - cup!

Those were the highlights of my week.  And then there's the new cancer scare.  With my Grandpa.  My hero.  The best man I know.  We won't know for 2 weeks.  Trying to be positive, optimistic and thank God for the great life he's had so far.
