Changes

Today marked two big changes for us. First, Kirsten's parents started their return journey home to Connecticut after spending the last two weeks with us. In addition to spending time with their grandson, Kris and Mark kept the house running by doing the cooking, cleaning and helping with household repairs. They were a huge help and will be missed. We look forward to having them back at Christmas time along with Kirsten's sister, Courtney.

In the meantime, we'll have more help with visits from Andy's brother David, his mother, Ede and her husband Terry.

It's wonderful to have two very supportive families assisting us.

The other event that happened today was that Archer's umbilical cord fell off. Well, hopefully fell off. We're not quite sure if it came off completely on it's own, or if Kirsten accidentally helped it a little by brushing it with her hand during a diaper change. Hopefully it was ready to come off! It looks pretty good so we think it was.

Until next time...
