Decompression

I meant to write about our vacation right after we returned home, but it has taken me this long just to get my damn self together!  I’ve been unpacking, washing/drying/folding piles of laundry, and getting back into our daily schedule, and it’s exhausting.  That goodness we’re now pretty much back to normal.

9 months

Aiden,
You are now nine months old, and ya know what that means?  You’ve lived “out” in the world for as many months as you lived in my belly!  I don’t know about you, but I personally can’t believe it!  Could it really have been nine months ago that you were born? 
Today we were out shopping [...]
