and he's off...

this morning we sent craig off for his first day of work in manhattan.  his normal work schedule will be something like leaving the house around 7:30 or 8am and on a "good" day he will be home around 9pm (with a few midnight or later nights mixed in).  he also will be working most saturdays and a few sundays.  awesome, i know.


this morning we started our new routine which involves us all getting up in the morning so we have time to eat a family breakfast together (we will be doing this instead of family dinners) and take care of any other things we do as a family like reading scriptures and family prayer.  so this morning that meant a 5:30am wake up call for craig and me (6am for the boys).  we enjoyed some whole wheat banana pancakes and sent craig off to the train.


we are really excited to finally be starting this new chapter of our lives...wish us luck!

here is the investment banker getting ready this morning

CONGRATS TO YOU ALL! Best Wishes, Craig. You've worked hard and we're proud. Sy, Soren and Anne...the early a.m. routine DOES get easier (doesn't it?)

You have a group of handsome men there! Good luck to Craig...and to you!

Congratulations to Craig and I hope you all adjust to the schedule quickly. I'm impressed with the plan to wake up early and see him off with breakfast and kids. maybe this means you can put the kids to bed early so you have some time to yourself! Good luck to you, Anne, with the transition. It cannot be easy to have all day/Saturday solo!

Good luck to all of you, Anne! I'm excited about the breakfast idea - it makes the schedule seem possible and gives everyone a chance to see the Daddy:) Gives me hope in case we end up with an intense schedule too.
I feel bad I didn't get to see you one more time before you left, but I just love and admire you so much. I have been so impressed with your awesome attitude towards everything. Keep up the good work and we'll stay in touch in the blog world!
