First Week Home

Well, it's been a few days since we've posted. Things have settled down nicely and we seem to finally getting into a family groove. Mom and Aanika had their first full week alone while Daddy went to work (dad didn't want to go). With both of us learning schedules it was pretty interesting but we were able to go out on a couple of adventures together! (very successfully we might add!)

The sickness is finally making it's way out the house and we're all pretty excited about how things will be with all of us well! We think Aanika is cutting another tooth because the drooling has started. We've been pretty fortunate not to have gone through the previous 8! With all that she puts out, she's gonna be drenched by noon.


We're making plans for a trip to Oma and Opa's (Grandma and Grandpa Sprecher) house in Missouri for Christmas. We'll be driving over the course of 2 days with a stop in the Benton Harbor area to see relatives - oughta be interesting. Aanika did great on planes when she wasn't strapped down...I don't think we'll have as much luck with the car seat. She hates being sedentary AND strapped in!
