We came back on Saturday evening from a week-long stay in Baltimore, Maryland with my in-laws. Although we battled sickness most of the time, it was a really nice visit. We loved catching up with everyone (and really missed Tim and Steve who are away at college right now) and watching Drew interact with each person. We will be heading back up there for Thanksgiving and by then, Drew will be 7 months old (hard to believe!) and Tim and Steve will be home for the holiday.
We were also curious to see how Drew would do with traveling. This trip was his first long adventure and he did really well. He loves his car seat so we obviously had that in our favor. But he did well with napping and playing and we stopped about every 2 hours for a quick spin in the stroller and some fresh air.
It’s hard to be separated from family but until they get the hint and move down to South Carolina (hehe) we see many road-trips ahead in our future. 🙂 At least we like to travel.
But even though traveling is fun. It is so nice to be home. I am slowly getting into my routine again. Laundry done. Stack of books to be read is organized. List of To Do is handy. And the most important thing – when Drew wakes up in the middle of the night, I don’t have to stumble around trying to find where that Crying Thing Is. I just flip into automatic mode and about an hour later I find myself crawling back into bed having visited the nursery, changed the baby, fed him, snuggled for a few minutes and rocked him to sleep. ‘Tis nice.
