What a weekend!!!

This past weekend Daddy, Junior and I traveled to Lubbock, TX. (No, we weren't enrolling Junior in courses at Tech, even though it would be nice to lock in today's tuition rates for him.) We were attending and participating in a wedding of a sweet couple we met at the church we attended while going to school there. We were honored to bring up the gifts for the Eucharist and also to hand out the Body and Blood. We have many friends that we met over the years while we were there that we are blessed to still have in our lives. This should be the last wedding of them all. The past couple of years have been wedding central around here, not to mention now becoming baby central!

Now to address the title of my post..."what a weekend!!!" We sure thought it would go a little smoother than it did. Junior did not enjoy his 6 hour car ride there on Friday afternoon nor did he enjoy Daddy and I keeping him up until 11pm that night without a good afternoon nap. So coming into Saturday Junior was already tired to say the least and instead of his normal 3 hour nap he opted to wake up at half that time. Now it was time for the wedding and Junior lasted about two minutes before he needed to be escorted by Daddy to the back of the church where he stayed for the remainder of the wedding and mass. Finally, on to the reception with a grumpy baby. Here are the only pictures we were able to get of our wonderful family. Junior was not happy!



He did however, finally pass out on a dear friend of mine from Kindergarten while Daddy and I were trying to squeeze in a dance.

That nap only lasted about 45 minutes and then we had one unhappy baby again. When we finally sent off the bride and groom with sparklers it was time for us to head back to the hotel. Once we were there it was pure chaos! I forgot to mention that we were not the only ones in our hotel room that night. We were sharing it that night with a couple from church in Lubbock and their little one. Both little guys were NOT happy with us when we returned. We thought they would enjoy taking a bath together since they both loved their baths. I'm sure it would have turned out just fine if they were in better moods. Daddy gave Junior an express bath and then it was little G's turn for his. All the while both boys are screaming at the top of their lungs totally fed up with us. I scrambled to get Junior's diaper and pajamas on as he crawled to a pillow on the bed to lay his tired head on. Within seconds he was asleep even though his little buddy was still in the bathtub wailing away!

The next day was much better! The ride home was still a little rough, but how can you explain to an 11 month old that he has to sit in his car seat for 6 hours. It was understandable that he was a little perturbed with us that weekend!

Here are a few pictures of Junior and little G perusing the diaper bag for goodies! Junior enjoyed taking things out and handing them to his friend to examine. They sure were cute together!
