We took the kids to the Richmond Metro Zoo a few weekends ago. Aidan had a lot of fun feeding the animals and Addison slept most of the time. We're all doing very well. Addison is now sleeping about 10 hours at night so we are all catching up on some sleep. I started back to work last week and that's been a very hard transition for me. Luckily, Brad is able to take 2 weeks off at work so he's home right now with the kids. We're looking forward to some time off during Thanksgiving with Aunt Judy, Mimi and Papa. Then back to work for a few weeks and 2 weeks off for Christmas. We'll be traveling to PA and dress shopping with Aunt Laura for her wedding....that doesn't give me much more time to lose the rest of this weight! Looking forward to seeing family over the holidays. Hope everyone is well!

More Virginia Beach pictures from Aunt Laura!!!!

Brotherly love! I thought I'd share a little video. Enjoy!

Addison is a bathing beauty!

It all started with Aidan putting his feet in the water.

Then he fell in...
Then he stripped down to his underwear!

Our trip to Virginia Beach! This past weekend we took a trip to Virginia Beach and met Aunt Laura and Dan down there. Aidan had a ton of fun. He keeps saying he wants to go back "morrow". At first Aidan was nervous of the water, but by the end of the trip, he had no fears. Addison on the other hand slept through most of the beach time. Our big accomplishment of the weekend was talking Brad and Dan into renting a surrey family bike and riding with us. It turned out to be more of a mistake as our legs were killing us on the way back. Oh well, Aidan enjoyed the free ride!

Fun on the farm! We made our yearly trip to Snead's farm to pick pumpkins and Aidan had a blast. His favorite part was feeding the chickens. Every morning when we wake up he asks to go back to the farm to feed the chickens. So a big announcement about Addison...she's slept through the night! She now goes to bed about 11pm and sleeps until about 7! We're really enjoying the sleep. She's also started making some cooing noises. It's all by accident, but it still counts!

Our house wouldn't be complete without Steeler's gear!
Fun in the tub!
Smiles!
Aidan's been home with mommy too long!

I'm finally making time to fill you all in. Addison Grace Kocher was born on 8/13/08 at 10:39 am. She was 8lbs 2oz and 20 inches long! We had a little scare with jaundice in the hospital, but she has fully recovered and she's doing great! Aidan LOVES being a big brother and loves giving Addison kisses. Brad and I are finally starting to get a little more sleep because Addison has started sleeping between 5 and 6 straight hours at night. She'll wake up to eat and go back to sleep so we're pretty lucky! Hope everyone is doing well and we'll try and update more often!
