We made it after all

I flew home last Monday thinking it would be a quick trip. I would clean like crazy, pack like no tomorrow, and leave out Thursday. I have never worked so hard in all of my life. This is no understatement. I worked from 6am until at least midnight every single night. The kids were so excited to see me. I couldn't possibly think about them spending the night elsewhere after they were so excited to be home. We did a bit of visiting while we were in (you try telling great grandparents that you are home for what is probably a very long time and you aren't going to visit). On Wednesday, I called Adam to tell him we weren't going to make it on Thursday. I still had way too much to do. So, Thursday, I went to take the car to Sears to get tires and the kids and I were going to get cupcakes. Adam jumped out from behind one of those bathroom model things. I was so glad to see him!

We left Friday around noon-after a stop through Pals. The kids did really great on the ride up. Avery was the only very unhappy camper but hopefully, the ride back home will be better since she won't be backwards after she turns 1. We got to the apartment around 1am and the kids were overwhelmed. They were nervous. It was probably the first apartment they had ever been in. The girls and Sutton shared a bed, Easton slept on the couch, and Avery slept on a blanket in the floor (she was NONE too pleased with her sleeping place but we had forgot her Pack N Play).

Today, we brought them to the hospital to visit Weston. He was overjoyed to see them and they were thrilled to see him. Avery was, by far, the most excited. They left right before lunch. That will be our routine for awhile with Adam and I trading off. It isn't ideal but it is SO SO SO nice to have everyone in the same city.

Did I mention how much the littles have grown? Avery is so big and about to walk anytime. She isn't talking yet but when she went for her 9 month apt (she is 10 months but we have been busy!), she has an inverted ear drum. We are supposed to see ENT here in Philly next week to see about putting in tubes. Sutton is talking up a storm! He has turned into a big kid saying sentences and singing songs. Emery is saying more too and has become very opinionated. We will be looking for a speech therapist for her up this way as well. Abby has become a young lady. She lost that baby look and looks like a big girl.

So, that is about it. We still have to figure out grocery shopping and all of that. Grocery stores here are a lot different than back home. Wegmans
