Boy Oh Boy!: Catching up

Casey and I had a great visit last week. We went out to lunch with friends, shopped, went back to the pool, and had ice cream twice. Brady loved spending time with Aunt Casey, and especially liked when she would sing to him and walk him around the house. We had a lot of fun, and we can't wait for her to visit again next time!

Casey left on Saturday, and Pete came back from AZ that evening. Hooray! We were so thrilled to see him! The three of us went out to dinner Saturday after we picked him up at the airport. There was a little bit of a wait, and we found out later that a very nice woman asked the hostess if she could trade us spots in line so we didn't have to wait as long with an infant. We were touched by her kindness, and we'll be looking for a way to pay it forward.

On Saturday night, Pete did all of Brady's night feedings so I could catch up on a little bit of sleep. I really appreciated it, and I think it helped him appreciate what the last two weeks have been like for me! On Sunday evening, I went to dinner with Bethany, Jessica, and Jessica's sister, who was visiting from out of town. It was fun to get out and we had a great time chatting! On Monday we had Meredith, Steve, and Sofie over for dinner. Sofie is about a month younger than Brady, so it was like looking back in time and seeing how much he has grown already. She is adorable!

The rest of this week is going to be equally busy. Brady and I are going to be getting together with friends, running errands, and the social worker is coming for our monthly home visit. Most exciting of all- we are flying to Orlando on Saturday to vacation with Dad, Lyla, and Daniel (and Casey for a few days)! I've started making a list of everything we need to pack, and that is enough to overwhelm me for now. Brady sure does require a lot of "stuff!"
