Priceless Time

The past two weeks have been priceless. We traveled to Ohio to visit family and Addison got to meet her great grandma and her great great grandma! Plus, all of Josh's cousins, aunt, and uncle. How cool is it that she has a great great grandma! Not many people can say that! Of course we got a million "5 generation" pictures.

I was a bit nervous about flying with Addison but of course, she was wonderful. We unfortunately had a layover on both flights so it was a pain getting off the plane and back on but it was quick so wasn't too bad. She was either sleeping or eating on the flights. She just cuddled up on my lap and fell asleep; it was amazing! On the last flight she had a moment of weakness for about 3 minutes and then passed out. We figured she deserved a few mins to release some energy after 4 flights and 4 days of being held and passed around! 

Yeaaa I survived my first flight!!
Traveling with a 10 week old... we are crazy and we know it. 
Such a good girl!! 

We spent a few relaxing days in the small town of Bucyrus, Ohio. There was lots of lounging, food and family time. It was great and much overdue for Addison to meet everyone! We have SO many pictures of the weekend on my website too. www.joshandamber.shutterfly.com. Here are a few of my favs:

Now we are spending my very last week of maternity leave cuddling on the couch. Addison snapped right back into schedule and I've been trying to cope with the fact that I won't be with her every second of the day. Everyone is asking me if I'm ready to go back.. I don't honestly know the answer. Do I want to leave her? NO. Do I miss my job? Yes. I miss having our routine and crazy enough, I miss work. It's just hard because I don't want to be away from Addison. So honestly, I don't know my answer. Right now, it's I'm ready to go back and at least try it out. We will see how it goes after a few weeks :) I'm sure I won't let her go at night or on the weekends!! It's crazy to think she's almost 3 months old!

 sleeeeeeepy time 


This weekend my niece is coming to Kansas City to celebrate her 5th birthday! My sister in law always said when she turned 5 she can get an American Girl Doll. Sooo that's what we are doing! KC has a huge store so we are making a day of it. A total girls day - brunch, shopping, doll and clothes buying and then going to see Madagascar 3. My niece said she'd like us 4  to go together so Addison gets to come along for the ride too. (NO she is not getting a $100 doll... give her a year or two! Although, I doubt I can wait until she's 5...). It will be a perfect weekend before I return to work. 

Happy Hump Day!
