Spring Break

On Tuesday morning I flew up to Chicago to visit Scott's brother and our sister-in-law.  We've been wanting to go see them and figured we'd better squeeze it in while I had a few days off.  Unfortunately Scott got stuck here with work, and then a sinus infection and bad flights.

I love being an Auntie and it was great to be able to spend almost three days with the family loving on my nieces and the new twinsies.  Kurt and Adrienne brought home preemie twins from the hospital about five weeks ago they are foster parenting. I really am so impressed and don't know how they do it every day.  To give them a little break, I got up with the babies on the nights I was there to feed them, change them, and let everyone else get a little sleep.  Now, I've done this at various times with babies over the last few years for friends or when I nannied in college, but two infants, who are still playing catch up in the growth department (and take for.ever to eat, it seems like) are a completely different story!  We all survived though and actually got some sleep.  I definitely got my baby fix for a little while, but still felt like the visit flew by almost too quickly.
