I feel like Derek and I had been counting down the days forever until we got to go home with our little man. It's so hard living up here far, far away from everyone and we were excited to make a trip back. The entire time was non-stop moving (splitting time between both sets of grandparents) on top of his Sip & See and baptism, but we wouldn't trade our stressed out bodies and minds for anything else. Being with family and friends rejuvenated the soul. The embraces by warm arms and laughs with familiar faces just plain felt good. It was needed. Very much.
But before I begin to ramble on about how I much I miss "home", let's move on to some pictures.
First up? Actually making it to KC with a teething 3.5 month old! Andrew did very well, only crying for about 60 seconds at one point. He was sleeping and woke up (we think) to some ear pain as he was definitely utilizing his "hurt" cry. Other than that, he just looked around or slept.
Next? Meeting Uncle Bean. Drew had met all of his immediate family except for my brother, Mike, who I've fondly called Bean since before I can even remember. Drew LOVED smiling at him on the ride home from the airport and was quite comfortable in his arms that afternoon.
More pictures and stories to come throughout the week of the rest of our trip to KC!
New teeth and ear aches just seem to go together. Just think, only 20+ more.
