Travels

LB has a toy and his favorite button to push plays a song that goes like this; "busy busy, busy busy, there's so much to do..." That song pretty much sums up our past few weeks. Sorry to be so MIA from blogging, I have been reading your blogs just couldn't comment most times because I had a little toddler climbing all over me or getting into something he wasn't suppose to, but hubs had a work trip that we tagged along with.   We were gone one week then came back for a weekend to get LB's ears checked (long story but praise the Lord we do not have to do tubes yet for him) and then were gone again for another week. I.am.exhausted! Who knew mini-vacas would be so much more work with a kiddo.

I am so grateful though for the time we had in KC. We were able to spend some much needed time with our family and friends there. But LB did not like being in a hotel and they are not baby friendly one bit. Especially for a kiddo with a 30-second attention span and whose favorite toys are cords and outlets. We spent most of our days and nights out of the hotel room, which worked at well since we were in a place where we knew so many people. But LB did not sleep at all. He does not like sleeping in his pack and play so many nights were spent in bed with us. The funniest part is that him and his daddy sleep exactly the same. So most nights I ended up with one of their elbows in my eye. Even more nights were spent with me watching the two of them sleep. Melts this mamas heart to see that. Seriously wish I could have taken some pictures without waking them. They sleep exactly the same. So precious. 

My heart is rejuvenated. There is nothing like seeing family and dear friends. I love that the Lord has blessed us with many close friends. We are able to pick up where we left off with them like no time has passed and it is so refreshing to hear how the Lord has been working in their lives. God is moving. And I love being reminded of that each time we sit down and talk with people. Even though the sleepless nights were hard traveling it was well worth it because we were able to see so many people dear to us. 

I do though now have a mountain of laundry to wash and an even bigger mountain of clean things to put away. Even though we cleaned our house right before we left it is in need of another good cleaning. And of course our a/c went out last night as the temperature hit 90*. So I am thinking today is going to be a busy one. 

But I will soon have many fun updates to come. 

Like how our Easter was. LBs outfit was adorable and I can't wait to show you all some of those pictures. Even though the poor thing had a fever and a oozing ear infection he still posed for pictures for me. He is the best! And I may be a bad mom for making him sit there and take pictures but I didn't know he had a fever until later in the day or that's when I noticed it. 

I also have a fun post of beautiful family shots we got done from my super talented and amazing best friend. She seriously is great y'all and took some awesome pictures for LB's first birthday card. (I wont be showing you those ones though until his bday, which I can't believe is almost a month away!)

I will leave you with this though. My husband is amazing and for Mothers Day/my birthday/our anniversary (they all fall within a month of each other) he got me a super awesome camera! 

 I am in love. I am pretty sure you all will now be overloaded with pictures each and every post. But seriously, could a mama ask for a better gift. LB was so excited when I got it. He was smiling real big and laughing. Could be because I was freaking out excited. This may be a new obsession of mine as yesterday alone I took over a hundred pictures. But the weather was beautiful and my subject was in a great mood so I was snap happy. So there will be quite a few post to come featuring pictures from this beauty. But for now I must clean while it is still cool enough in our house to function.
