Back to Reality

Well, we have been home for a few days now and it's amazing how quickly we fall back into our
old routines after being on vacation for 5 days. Besides loads of laundry and cleaning I have not been up to much. We had a great time in Punta Cana and the wedding was beautiful. I would have some pictures to share of our time down there if George had not "accidentally" erased them from our new camera! I am supposed to be getting some replacements from everyone which I am sure are just as great. We missed Tara a lot and are glad to be back to hear her contagious giggles and smiles. Here is a small group picture shot at the airport and a picture of Tara helping me unpack! (I had one of her helping me pack but....)


I also finally got a dresser for the many clothes that my 15 month old has acquired. (okay, mostly from my love of shopping and it's so fun to shop for girls! Cousin Audrey is going to have some cute clothes to add to her closet soon!) I have been busy arranging her room and putting away the things that she has outgrown including her toys. I find myself kind of sad that she is no longer a baby even though her father refuses to acknowledge that she is a toddler/little girl. Not that I am ready for number two yet because I also want to enjoy my time with her before adding a sibling to the mix. She will only be young once and she is already growing up so fast. I guess I just want to savor this time I do have with her. Unfortunately, whenever the next one does come, he/she will never have our undivided attention as Tara did/does. This is where family comes in to take the older one so the younger one can have some one on one time with mom and dad. I also want Tara to be old enough to help out, ya know, get me a diaper or burp cloth, or entertain him/her so I can shower!
Well, I am going to take advantage of what will probably be her only nap today since she got up late!
