We've been home for a week

and surprisingly we all survived. Claire is still loving on Jenna as much as possible and Jenna is still sleeping great. Dan and I would much rather stay up late and get Jenna to bed than get up in the middle of the night. I usually nurse Jenna and get her down around 11-12. She goes down great, wakes up once, about 4-4:30ish and then sleeps until 8:30-9. We have had longer stretches, but lucky for us, no short stretches of sleep at night. And she is great going back down to sleep after she eats. Now, if we could only get Claire to not wake up while I am feeding her - Dan loves his girls, but I am sure he would prefer to not have all of us in bed and awake at 4:30 AM. It's just so hard to tell Claire she can't help...she just wants to watch me feed Jenna, change Jenna, and of course sing to her and kiss her and kiss her and kiss her. And now for what you really care about - more pictures.

She constantly wants to hold Jenna - I love it!



Nana worked more than double duty this week...spending most days with me and nights working to help get Andreas new place cleaned up and settled. Well, it's not really "hers" yet, but it looks like it will be come Tuesday.
Love love love this picture - Claires smile is priceless!
After a long week in Germany, Pipere also did lots of work this week. If you didn't hear, Andrea hurt her knee Sunday, MRI is pending. She can't walk so she wasn't able to help much with the moving. Unfortunately, her new townhouse has the garage on the first floor and the second and third floors are living space. Needless to say, Mom and Dad had to do most of the packing and moving. This is how Claire set up Jenna
Claire being a goof....she thought she was soooo funny (and I'm too tired to flip the picture)



Hope you enjoy the pictures - say a little prayer for Andrea as she has a big work decision to make this weekend. I'm sure she'll be happy with whatever decision she makes. Tomorrow Dans brother and his family are coming into town until Wednesday - Dan turns the big 3-0 on Tuesday!! Claire is so excited to see her cousins and I am sure we will have lots of fun. We are heading to Massachusetts for Memorial Day weekend - we would love for everyone to meet Jenna!
