Seattle - First Week Back to Work

I went back to work after Labor Day - my maternity leave of 3 months just flew by! We returned from Minnesota on Sunday afternoon, and then Caden and I flew to Seattle on Tuesday afternoon. You were a bit upset when we left for the airport because you were left at home with Girlie and Daddy. When you were a newborn, I used to take you with me to Seattle; now it's Caden's turn to travel with Mommy.

When we landed, we drove to Som and Tanya's house to meet their twin girls, Rhea and Aarya. They were sleeping when we arrived and slept the entire time we were at their house. Tanya's mom and grandma loved holding Caden - Caden was a big flirt smiling and cooing at them. Tanya's grandma did not want to let go of Caden, but Som managed to pull him away to feed him a bottle of breastmilk.
Tanya was amazed how big Caden had grown since the birth announcement photos - Caden looked HUGE compared to their twin girls.
On Wednesday morning, I dropped Caden off at daycare and went to the Massive sales offsite. After work, Caden and I had a relaxing night back at the hotel. We both needed to catch up on sleep.

On Thursday after the Microsoft Company Meeting ended, we met some friends for dinner at the Beach Cafe in Kirkland - it was a gorgeous day to be outside near Lake Washington. Sandy and Rich had their second girl, Daphne, in July; Daphne's big sister, Sadie, was asking for you. Bummer that you were not in Seattle with us on this trip. Susan and Zoe also joined us for dinner (Michael was on a business trip in China). You would have had fun playing with Sadie and Zoe. Maybe we will plan another trip to Seattle with the entire family so that we can visit all of our friends who have had more babies recently.
On Friday afternoon, we also dropped by to meet David and Becky Aronchick's newborn son, Henry, who is two months old. Cute shot of Henry and you on the couch - look how much bigger you are!
