Family Time

As promised: fewer words, more pictures:

 Some pajama time

 Then it was off to New Jersey. A laughable doozie of a car ride (6 hours, traffic, and a crying baby. And I somehow managed to climb over the car seat from the front to the back to keep Addy company - no pictures of that!), but we made it. And it was worth going down ahead of schedule, Friday night instead of Saturday morning, because we got in more family time...

 ...and a playdate with AJ.

Then it was off to meet the new baby!

Welcome, Austin Michael

 And then it was Sunday, and it was time to hit the road, for another long car ride home. But with Chloe in the back, I was saved from having to do any more acrobatics. The sad part was watching the temperature drop from mid-fifties in New Jersey to mid-twenties (and snowing) in Massachusetts. And along with the 30 degree temperature drop was a 30 cent price jump per gallon for gas. New Jersey, we miss you.

Cinnamon is home! Now we just have to teach Addy to stop chewing on Cinnamon's toys... and bones.

Addy decided at lunch today that she wanted to use my spoon. She mostly just brandished it as a weapon to prevent me from helping her with her pasta.

And, thank goodness, Addy is down for her second nap today. After a week of once-a-day naps, my hair was starting to fall out. Looks like we're back on schedule! Now maybe those darn teeth will pop through.
