Extended Visit

Will and I have reunited with Nate and are back in our routine here in VA. Will is such a creature of routine, which is my doing since he's been on one since birth, so he is sleeping so much better now that we're home. Thanks to that I am sleeping better too! We had a great extra two weeks in Georgia with family and friends. We were able to really relax some, rather than the usual rush frenzy of trying to see everyone while in town. While we were there Will got a virus so he had a high fever for about 5 days that slowed us down (and kept us from seeing as many people as we would have liked) but it was still a great trip. I had so much fun visiting with some of my most favorite people and having Will spend so much time with some of his family. By the time we left he was walking around calling for his Nana and Poppa. Oh, and in case you had noticed the ongoing debate of what Will was going to call my Dad we have reached a conclusion. It's Poppa. He walked around the house calling out for his PoppaPoppaPoppa. Mystery solved, name given and all is now right in the world. :) His familiarity with his family was rewarding and worth the extra time spent even though we missed Nate ridiculously! We are now dealing with the repercussions of an indulged month with grandparetns, aunts and uncles who doted on his every wish as their command. It's nothing a little time and effort won't fix. :)

Here are some pictures from the last couple weeks. We lost a handful somehow between cameras and computers and I didn't take nearly as many as I should have but these are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
