First Weekend Away

Well we made it back in one piece! It was nice to get away with Daddy to relax and have a few days to enjoy each other, but we sure did miss our little Aubrey each and every day.  We knew she was in good hands with Grandma and Grandpa Trost and Grandma Cave.  Papa Cave was going to come to Elkhorn with Grandma Cave, but he came down with a bad cold and didn't want to infect Aubrey with it.  Like I've said before, but yet this is another time in which it is oh so true, we are truly blessed to have such amazing parents.  They tag-teamed the weekend so that we could go to Las Vegas without any worries about how Aubrey would be.  I think they enjoyed the time with Aubrey just as much as she enjoyed her time with her grandparents. :)

We are so lucky to have the technology we do becauswe we were able to get a new video of Aubrey each morning and pictures and videos throughout each day.  We tried to do facetime, but the hotels did not have WiFi so we could not.  Thank goodness Daddy and I finally switched out our infamous flip phones for iPhones before Aubrey was born.  It was about time!

I forgot to mention that I had to take Aubrey back to the doctor the day before we left because her fever wouldn't break and she was not acting like herself.  Needless to say it was yet another ear infection.  Our poor baby cannot seem to overcome them!  We are getting a bit frustrated since the medicine or even the chiropractor is not working.  The good thing about us being on vacation at the time we went was that Aubrey was loved up by her grandparents, instead of going to daycare, when she was not feeling 100%.

The best thing about returning home from time away is seeing your baby's bright smile when she sees you.  It brought tears to my eyes seeing how excited Aubrey was to see us. Grandma Cave was feeding her a bottle when Daddy and I arrived home.  Aubrey stopped eating when she saw us and gave us a huge smile.  She kept looking back and forth between Daddy and I as if in disbelief that we were both there.  And we were in disbelief that Aubrey actually stopped eating her bottle for anything!  Food comes above just about anything, so that was a defeat in itself! :)
