small accomplishments, BIG RELIEF

It's funny how much my life has changed over the last 4 months. Just when I got into a rythum with Aubrey, I started watching Brogan when Aubrey was 5 weeks old. Then it was back to work 50% of the time when she was six weeks old. Now Justin is back in school to get his administrative credential on Wednesday nights and all day Saturday... and well sometimes I feel like we never stop :) With life so hectic, all the small accomplishments we make feel like a HUGE weight off our shoulders. For example, on Tuesday when Brogan and Aubrey were both napping, I was able to clear all the baby toys off the carpet and actually vacuum! I took a picture right after Brogan woke up because I knew it wouldn't stay clean for long! Justin also got some much needed yard work done today when he took out a willow bush that was too close to the house and was getting way too big. Another thing to cross of the honey do list! I think our greatest accomplishment this week though, was getting Aubrey to sleep a full 8 hours a night in her own bed! Whew, it's about time huh? I think she actually likes it because there is plenty of room for her to stretch out on her side. Daddy captured this picture when he was unwrapping her to get her ready to go to Auntie's house this morning. So squeezable :) Wow, we've been pretty productive this week.
