Back to Real Life

After almost 2 weeks of being out of our routine we are now back to the daily grind. Jake and I had a great time at the Titan's game in Nashville. It was crazy for me to spend almost the entire day with out my little man, Spencer. He stayed with his Oma and Opa, Jake's parents, while we enjoyed the game. Thanks you Oma and Opa! Thankfully Jake's company has a suite so we were out of the sun and got to enjoy drinks and yummy food. I can't say I would have enjoyed myself if we had been sitting in the hot sun! Actually I can say I would have been one whinny wife if we were sitting in that hot sun!!! :)

We left Nashville only to get ready for Jake's parents to come visit us a few days later! They spent the weekend and we had a great time. Spencer loves calling them by name and showing off any way he can. We had a fun time at Maymont in Richmond where we saw lots of animals. But, Spencer's favorite part was when he was able to get out of the stroller and RUN like a crazy man!!!

Oma and Opa left Sunday afternoon and Bevie and Papa, my parents, came the following Tuesday!!! Oh and did I mention that Jake had a colonoscopy that Tuesday morning. I had it all planned that may parents would be here and be able to keep Spencer the morning of Jake's procedure. Guess what, my mommy brain took over and I totally told my parents to wrong day! SO, I had to take Jake to the hospital accompanied by our 13 month old child who wants to hold everything he sees, "HOLD IT, HOLD IT!!!" I was prepared for eyes to be rolling, kinda like they do when Spencer and I plop ourselves down in first class when we fly!!! Man I love to do that. Anyway, everyone was great to us and it all went well. Jake's good too and we are happy he got screened seeing that he has a significant family history of colon cancer.

We had a great time with Bevie and Papa. Spencer enjoyed reading with Papa and making him laugh. We are very grateful to Bevie for keeping Spencer over night! Yes, that is what I said, OVER NIGHT!!! The first time ever I have left him over night. And might I say I don't have one of those easy night babies who kindly sleeps through the night OR even wakes up once.....no no no....Spencer loves to wake up over and over again. Bevie did a great job! Thank you Bevie. Jake and I enjoyed a yummy dinner at a nice restaurant overlooking the water and really enjoyed continuous SLEEP!!!

Thanks again to Bevie for giving Spencer his first real haircut and boy did he need a shape up. Wow, we really put poor Bevie to work!!! She didn't seem to mind. Thank you Mama!

On Friday we traveled to DC to see my brother, Carlisle, who Spencer happens to be gaga over. He loves his uncle "arlisle" and especially loves rand sacking his home!

We have had a wonderful few weeks filled with family. Spencer's already calling every ones name, holding his little hands up and asking "where o".
