Transitions

These last two weeks have been full of changes and adjustments. I went back to work which brought with it a cascade of new routines. Working again is bittersweet for me - I miss my job and the people I work with but I sure miss Bennett when I'm away for 14 hour stretches. My first days back were over the weekend so Brent and Bennett spent two full days together doing boy stuff - they even managed to trek over to the cabin and get some chores done around the property. We then trialed the first week of Avery and Bennett being together - I had them both on Wednesday, the nanny (Krissy) on Thursday, and Amber on Friday. Everyone survived and there were definitely more smiles than tears had by all. Two babies is a lot of work but I feel so grateful for friends like Amber who are willing to share the duties - she is such a great mom to Avery and I am so excited that Bennett will get to spend so much time with her. Once the babes are old enough to realize one another, I'm sure they will be fast friends - playing together and getting into all sorts of mischief! Here are some random photos from the week - thank you Amber for successfully catching Bennett's laughter on camera, I've been trying for weeks!

Apparently tummy time is fun with Daddy!
We took the kids to the pool on Memorial Day - Miss Avery was a bathing beauty!

Look how fun it is outside...maybe I can eat my way out!

Mastering the bumbo - he looks so scholastic and proper here.

Fun in the nursery!


Taking the double Bob out for a stroll - Avery hamming it up while Bennett sleeps through the fun.

Early potty training?

I need some target practice with the prunes...oops!

Prunes are gone...Bennett looks like he might taste good...

Buddies! Bennett sure looks round next to the svelte Avery.
