We've been back about 3 weeks now. Things have been busy. Work is in full gear now (well, it was, now we have a long 4 day weekend...). Angela and Addison enjoy being home together and hanging out. Daddy is happy to come home and be greeted by smiles from both.
Of course Addison is getting bigger now. She is very tickled to "stand", smiling very proudly. She still takes no interest in crawling, or pushing herself up when she's on her belly, actually. She is a chatter bug - sometimes she will make noises for more than 15 minutes (especially if someone is talking back to her). She still loves her bath time - now she has a duck to play with... usually that goes in her mouth.
Lately she has been a bit more clingy - not wanting other to hold her or be put down. She takes great comfort in being held by mom or dad, looking around peacefully.
Since we have 2 extra days off, we took the chance to organize our upstairs. Before, two bedroom were full of stuff, just thrown all over. Now our goal is to organize one room and use the other for a second extra bedroom/playroom. I built 4 shelves today, which sounds like now much work, but it took all day to build the shelves and organize our stuff. The project is probably 60% finished, but the rest is just organizing. Here is the mess of our upstairs and the shelves:

UPDATE: I spent half the day on the upstairs today and got most of the boxes done. I also cleaned up our cardboard box MESS. Before the area was a pile of boxes from the floor to the ceiling. Now it at least looks organized. AND, you can see the floor in all three of our rooms upstairs not (before only one :( ).
