Christmas time!

We had an exciting first Christmas with Claire. We started the holiday off at Jessica's mom's house for the Herrick Christmas Eve, always a party. Then Christmas day we went to my mom's house were we had some lunch opened presents and found out my mom is engaged! Hope everyone had a great holiday! Next up, New Years!

Getting settled in...

Today is our first full day at home. Last night was a bit ruff, but we managed to both get some sleep by trading off baby duty. This morning to let Jessica get some needed sleep, I took Claire in the living room and we watched Star Wars... don't worry, she will be a fan. We ventured out to the store and work to fax in our family medical leave information, then headed home to have dinner and relax. We both found it amazing how much effort it took to get a couple tasks completed, it will take a while to get used to taking all the things to support a baby with us everywhere. We'll see how tonight goes, but I think we are getting a plan together to make sure we both get the rest we deserve and Claire gets all the attention she needs. I am working on a huge upload of pictures... look for that tomorrow morning!
