The Week in Review

I've just heard from Dave. He's about to board the plane headed HOME! He just spent the last 19 hours flying from Singapore to Newark. I am excited that he will make it home by midnight - hopefully before the big snowfall comes. Forecasters are calling for a major snowstorm tonight through tomorrow.

I was a bit worried this week how I would handle being home alone all week without Dave, but I DID IT! Monday was as usual, Tuesday Drew stayed home for a doctor appointment in Fairfax where we waited way to long for a lot of nothing. Wednesday my mom came up to celebrate Amelia's birthday and then spent the next few nights keeping me company. The kids enjoy it when Grannie is here for a sleepover. Thursday was Christmas shopping and today was Drew's Christmas party at school. Jenna slept, Ava enjoyed hanging out with her buddies and meeting Santa. Drew's class went from station to station - games, singing, crafts and a visit with Santa. Drew received a huge body pillow as his gift, but was definately happier with the chocolate chip cookies on the snack bar (photo above). My mom snapped a photo or two of Jenna and I today (above) and I tried to be artsy with the last photo (snapping the kids photo tonight with the lit tree).

Oh yes, and Wednesday morning I was getting Jenna dressed. She won't sit still at all for me anymore, so I asked Ava to distract her. Jenna isn't much for babbling yet, but there she went...AVAAVAAVAAVAAVAHH and MOMMOMOMOMMMM. And it's been fun when you say those sounds to her now - she will repeat them!

Come on home Daddy!!
