Vegas trip and work woes

Well I am catching up on posts- my first week back to work and already behind- not a good sign.

Last weekend Kylie and I went to Vegas to visit Grandma and Grandpa and left the boys at home. Boulder City has a great annual art and craft festival and I have not been in years so it was a great excuse to take a short vacation before my maternity leave was over. The weather was great and we got lots of shopping in. Grandma got Kylie her first Raggedy Ann doll, though it is a Christmas gift so she has to hold out a little longer to play with it.

Then it was back to work for me on Monday. Work was so chaotic. I had stayed caught up with email while I was out so I thought I would come back and just slide back into things- wrong. Well I think everyone was saving things for me so it was crazy. The only good part was that it left little to no time to miss Kylie, but her picture sits right in front of me, so I did get sad a couple times. Kylie did well at school- that is what the teachers say at least, though every time I went to get her she was content.

Jace and I went back to the zoo today. We had a cold front come in yesterday so while we were there it was in the 60s. He was better this time- did not have to chase him around so much. He still wanted to run, but kept in a closer proximity and never really went the other direction. He passed out hard on the car trip home so I think he had a good time. We took them both for a walk tonight when we got home. Kylie tried out her new jacket from Grandma and stayed snugly warm.

Our October is going to be so busy- hope it is not a trend for the rest of the year!

And despite our best efforts to support our football teams the Aggies and Bulldogs are not doing so hot. But we enjoy brainwashing the kids nonetheless. Jace now knows his Aggie and Bulldog t-shirts- next is the fightsongs (ha-ha).
