We had a visit in late June from Cis Cis while Robert went to Mississippi for Tyler and Betsey's wedding. We were sad to miss the wedding, but we loved having Cis Cis in Dallas for a visit. Mac decided to start sleeping through the night at about 6.5 weeks, so we have been very thankful for that...now if we can only figure out how to take naps during the day!
We also had our first trip back to Alabama for the 4th of July and I am very happy to report that Mac was a wonderful traveler and only cried about 10 minutes during the 12 hour drive. Before we left, Robert got nervous about driving home since we were going to Lake Martin and it would be a longer drive home....so he bought Mac and me a one-way ticket home on Southwest. Wouldn't you know that our flight home was delayed - but the little traveler did so well! I had a bottle for him to have during take-off so his ears wouldn't hurt but I forgot about having one for the landing. I had just come to the realization that I would have to nurse him on the airplane because the flight was so late leaving Birmingham and I knew he would be hungry and his ears might be hurting, so I tried really hard to get a window seat and not sit near any weird looking men, etc...(and I had my friend's "nursing cover" that she let me borrow). Well, wouldn't you know that the plane is almost full and this cute young guy boards the plane right before they shut the doors - and he sits next to me - and of course, he ends up knowing Alice Anne from Baylor! Thank goodness Mac never woke up....I practically force-fed him the bottle for his ears during take-off and then prayed the rest of the time that he would not wake up....and he actually cooperated! Thank you Lord....I just don't think I could have handled the other!
We had a wonderful 4th and I just wish I had more pictures of it...I did a good job with the video camera - but forgot to take pictures! I am not sure if I will ever get it all figured out! :)
We are heading to Auburn in one week to celebrate C-Boy's birthday and we will be there for my 10 year high school reunion! We can't wait to get to Auburn to see all of our friends!
Hope you are all having a great summer so far!
