back to reality

Yep, our vacation is over! We just got home this evening. It was sad to leave but I'm glad to be back home. I wouldn't really say it was a vacation per say...I worked my butt off! Going out of town is more work than being home. Living out of bags is a pain and I was constantly misplacing my stuff! Here's a little recap of our trip...
We left a week ago Friday and headed to Shreveport (Bossier really) for the night. Got up Saturday and headed to Camden, AR to visit with John and Amy. John's dad had passed away and they were in town. We hated the circumstances but really enjoyed seeing them.
Look at my spastic child...he doesn't have time for pics!
We have already arranged marriage for these two!
After visiting with the Schaffners we headed on to Cabot, AR to see Matt's family.
The boys played the Wii while the girls cooked and took care of the boys! :)
Aunt Rachel...she was a big help.
Cousin Jack!
We left Cabot on Tuesday and head to Hot Springs Village, AR to visit my parents. We were basically on the lake the whole time.
Grandma and Papa Miller
Andrew loved being on the boat.
Swimming with Daddy. Josh and Jill came out to The Village and skied with Matt yesterday. They took Andrew out on the tube (I don't have pics to prove it) and he LOVED it. He cried when it was time to get off.
Blake out on the boat. He enjoyed it, too!
Well, we enjoyed our visit with everyone. The boys had their moments...well, Andrew did, but they really were good. Blake didn't sleep that great in the pack 'n play so I'm hoping he gets a good night sleep tonight!! Now if I could just get someone to unpack for me and catch up my wash!!!

Whats the secret? I'm pumping at work for the 3 feedings I miss and am nursing her 4-5 times while at home. Don't hold out on me:)!

Thanks for your advice! I can't believe those boys give you 45 min 3-4times a day!

yeah, lauren, in the beginning it was very hard b/c i was doing it all the time. now i've got it down to 3-4 times. two of the times i do it they are in bed. that helps out a lot. hope you get to feeling better!

Good pictures. I am impressed you packed, unpacked, packed , upacked so many times. That is work in and of itself.
