I have a few minutes!

Well, it's been a LONG time since the last time I posted. Before we traveled to get Aaron I was so diligent about posting and updating. Now in my spare time, it's laundry, sleeping and relaxing!!

Life is GREAT! We are settling into our routine with the kids and work. This morning I had an 8 o'clock meeting in the office and I made it there on time (even managed to make it without baby throw-up or dog slobber on me, amazing!). I just assigned to a new project which is requiring a few part-time hours before I 'officially' start back in mid-April. So part-time work, here I come for awhile!

Aaron is doing fantastic. Thanks to some miracle working by the worlds greatest dad, we are now down to just one bottle in the early morning (like 3:30-4:30). Shane really has the most patience in the world. You never really know what kind of dad the man you marry is going to be, but I must say.....I truly hit the jackpot!! Truly!! Shane has worked with Aaron on the night-time sleep for the past 6, almost 7 weeks and we are now almost there.

The kids love each other so much. Today on the way to drop them off at the sitter (who I shouldn't even call a sitter, because she's such a dear close friend!), Abby said to me in her two year old voice "Mommy, you brought baby brudder back from Africa and now he's my brudder and you are his mommy and daddy is his daddy". Ok---make me cry before heading to a big meeting, like the emotions weren't there and in full swing!! Abby has so much love in her and Aaron just craves attention, especially her attention. They are so sweet together and both just so much fun!

Tomorrow afternoon/evening we are leaving to head to Mimi and Papas house, in FLORIDA! It's our first big trip with the two kids and we are so thrilled to see my parents again. We are going to travel at night so hopefully the car experience won't be too bad for either kiddo!

I can't find my camera cord, but will post some new pictures as soon as I can. We got back to the Dr. next week and I'll be able to confirm then, but I'm guessing Aaron has picked up at least another 1 1/2, maybe 2 (making him about 14 lbs!---he was 10.8 when we came home 6 weeks ago!).
