Sigh

That basically sums it up right now...goes without saying that we've had a busy few weeks, and are finally starting to catch a little breather. A little advice for everyone/anyone that reads this - never attempt to have a child and move in the same week-long period. It's pretty difficult. Luckily we had a bunch of help from Aunt Betty and Nonna the few days right after we moved in, either helping to watch the kids or unpacking kitchen boxes. And it only took us the next few weeks to unpack our clothes and get a little more organized (thanks to Theresa, since I've done much of nothing since). Baby steps.

So since I last posted, we've moved, unpacked a little, made it down to OC to send off the summer and tried to maintain our sanity. Reading that doesn't sound quite as hectic as it's been, but it certainly feels like things have been a little crazy. Some more updates:

Brennan has his next check-up next Tuesday - he's still only had the one and since he's so "healthy" the doctor didn't see the need to see him again until he's 1 month. He didn't make it to the beach, but did make his first trip to the boardwalk to watch Audrey ride her last rides of the summer. She's definitely gotten a lot more adventurous, and asked to go on the ferris wheel this time around - which is a frightening experience for the parents of a 2 yo who won't sit still and doesn't understand that she's 500 ft in the air. She's also still a big fan of Brennan's, and continues to make sure he's well taken care of. In fact, after work tonight she brought me his burp cloth, pacifier and bottle, making sure to tell me that I "needed" each of them as she delivered them. Oh, and she's turned into a pretty big fan of singing - the video is her helping to make a cake for Aunt Nikki's birthday. Her secret ingredient is love (pardon the camera angle - this is Theresa's handiwork).
