Trip to Longview!!

Well, we made it! On Friday, we left for Longview. It took us over 4 hours to get there because I decided it would be a good idea to leave town on I-35 at 3ish o'clock. BAD idea! We did not even get out of Dallas until 5:15. Once we got out of the DFW area it was smooth sailing. Evan was a great car rider. He slept the entire time and was such a trooper!

Saturday, Mark and I left Evan alone for 4 hours with Nini and Grandpa! Evan of course had a fantastic time hanging out with his grandparents. I, on the other hand, had a little trouble when we first left for Shreveport, but once we got to the wedding, I was happy to be an adult for a while! I did forget, however, when you haven't had anything to drink for 10 months, just 2 glasses of wine, might make you a little silly. Oops! **Congrats to the newlyweds Jason and Elizabeth! A beautiful wedding!

Today, we headed home and this ride wasn't as smooth, but Evan was still great. About half way home, Evan decided he was hungry. I had to sit in the back seat with Evan on one side and Troy on the other. Not the most comfortable way to travel!! Thankfully, we were prepared with a bottle, and after about 20 minutes of letting him eat, he was once again a content passenger.

All in all, we had a fabulous weekend. It was great to go to Longview. I will miss passing Evan off to Nini because he seems to save all of his spit up for her. Thanks mom! Evan also loves to save his leaky diapers for grandpa. We rarely have leaky diaper at home, but Evan was sure to pee on Grandpa as much as possible. It was also very strange to be in a house where your parents raised you with a kid of your own. I don't really have the words to describe it, but it was a very interesting feeling! The song circle of life comes to mind...

While we were there, Evan got to meet a lot of great Longview friends. Apparently, he also learned some life secrets from some of the ladies. Although, he won't share them with me! We are very glad to know that we can actually travel with Evan and the dogs. Of course it wasn't easy, but we did survive and it was well worth it!

1 month old!

Carseat on our way to Longview!!

Sleeping in my room. How weird is that?

What an angel!

We call this the Elvis. Surprise, Mark can do it too!

Look closely!

I guess we woke him up too early!

In the carseat, on the way back to Dallas!

He was awake for this trip, but still very happy!

Home, but not too happy about it!

"Thanks for the milk, mom!!"

Some one is sleepy!!
