back from the cape

aubrey and i are back in vt after a nice visit with the grandparents, great grandparents, and the aunties and uncles. we are officially pete-less at the moment, but are managing ok.

as per my last posting, boopers was pretty sick thursday evening. she threw up about five times and was totally out of it when i got home. but luckily, she managed to nurse and keep down some breast milk that night. and she slept like a log...no night wakings, which was great. (i had visions of cleaning up pukey crib bedding and pajamas at 3 am....)

boopers seemed to be on the mend friday morning, so i decided to leave for my parents a little earlier than originally planned. aubrey slept the ENTIRE ride down...almost 3 1/2 hours! she was obviously exhausted. she seemed pretty whipped for the entire weekend, but in good spirits. we had fun hanging out with grammie, pop, auntie k and uncle b. we also got to visit with great grammie and grampie, aunti "fifi" and uncle brendan. it was nice to see family!

on saturday my sisters and i headed to hyannis to do a little shopping for the afternoon and i found a hotdog costume for boopers on super duper sale for $ 2.00. i couldn't help myself...it was just too good of a deal, so i bought it. boopers just barely fits in it, but ain't she the cutest little wiener????





she doesn't seem too sold on her new get-up, does she? someday she's really going to hate me for taking pictures of her in a hotdog costume.

pete is in NZ at the moment...he called earlier today and unfortunately he's sick as a dog with a stomach bug. when i talked to him he really hadn't had an opportunity to get out and explore christchurch at all. today he has a training at the antarctic center, so hopefully he'll have the energy to get out and about a bit. tomorrow he flies to mcmurdo station. i hope he feels better soon!
