Oh, if I haven't mentioned it: I'm back at work full-time. The first few days are half awesome catching up with old friends and half boring sitting through meetings and checking off bureaucratic tasks that need to be done. It averages out to "I'm glad to be back at work again" and "I'm optimistic about the year" without accomplishing much. Tomorrow is department meetings, but mine department will finish around noon to allow people to set up classrooms.
Shane started going to daycare full time as of Monday. He seems pretty happy with it. He's not fighting it in the mornings, and I heard him say "Goodbye!" to some teachers by name. Huzzah! The only downside is the extra $$$ it costs to have him there five days a week.
Depending on what happens with Carrie's job, we may not need to continue. To make a long story short, my wife is hoping to move to a part-time position within the organization. She's more than a little overqualified for the position she applied for and it hasn't gone unnoticed (she's gotten a lot of compliments and "why did you settle for this?" type of remarks). If things work out, she'll be able to transfer to a part-time evening position three times a week that would allow her to be at home with Shane, learn something new and set herself up for advancement whenever Shane goes to kindergarten.
Super quick update accomplished. I'm staying up too late and I need to switch my hours over faster!
