We Made it Home Safely

We got home Wednesday, April 9th in the late afternoon. The trip was long, but we all survived with only a little spit up along the way. We were worried that Ava was sick because she threw up the night before we left, but she was fine on the trip. Emma slept most of the way home, but Ava only slept about 4 hours. Of course Scott and I didn't sleep at all and we are still trying to recover from the jet lag. Emma is still exhausted and will start back to school on Monday. Her school is closed tomorrow for parent-teacher conferences. Ava is exhausted and refuses to sleep. She is kicking all of our butts right now, that's for sure.

She is having fun exploring her new house and getting into everything that she is not supposed to. We have some "toddler-proofing to do. The nannies were telling the truth when they said she is a naughty baby. She doesn't care for getting in her car seat at first, but quiets down once the van is rolling. We hope that she likes going to the gym daycare so Gene can continue her work out schedule every day. I miss all my gym rat buddies--thanks for all your comments and emails!!!

I must tell you all about our wonderful friends, neighbors, and Scott's office. We came home to a great Welcome Home sign and gift card from Scott's work--thank you so much Mitzi and everyone else who thought of us. When we went inside, we found that our great neighbors, the Brown Family, had stocked our fridge with some essentials, left us dinner, and had our mail for us. You guys are so thoughtful--we really appreciate everything. We also received a meal that night from the Ramsey family and the Shannon family has lined up meals for us for next week. Around 5:00 someone knocked on the door and we got some pretty flowers and balloons from the Callender Family--thank you so much for thinking of us. I haven't even gotten a chance to thank you also for the package you sent with the beautiful quilt, clothes, and frame. Anne, you are so talented! We really appreciate the support, emails, post, gifts, meals, etc. from everyone. We are overwhelmed with your friendship and support.

More soon after we recover from this trip!!!
