Visit with the Vaughn Family

-
On Friday my family from Sparta came to visit us.  Finn, Sam, Will, Nana and I met them at Chef's Market in Goodlettsville for lunch.  Granny, Laura, Tracey, Kara, Bruce and Jack all came up. Emily and her boys met us too. Lunch was really good.  Will slept the whole time.






After lunch we all came back to my house.  It was there first time to see my new house so I was able to show them around.  They also brought gifts for Will.  Kara's gift was so great.  She had cut up three gallon bags of  chicken tenderloin and provided all the fixings for a quick and easy dinner.  It was so nice.




All of the boys played together while the girls sat in the den and talked.  It was such a nice time and I am so glad that they came up.











Later than evening we all went to Babies-R-Us.  I decided to get a fancy baby monitor for Will since his room is upstairs.  Thank you Laura, Tracey and Melissa.  Your gift went to pay for the monitor.  I also shopped a little bit for Will.  I got him some premmie bibs and a little sleeper.



Next we went to get a quick bite at Firehouse.  Again Will slept the entire time.  I have no idea why Will sleeps so good during the day and so lousily at night.  For the past few nights he hasn't wanted to sleep in his bassinet.   He fusses and screams until I pick him up. I am really trying to get out of the habit of falling asleep with him so I have been holding him in the recliner all night.  We do sleep in the recliner - Will sleeps lying on the boppy - while I sleep reclining.  But I am still really tired.




On Saturday I took a 5 hour nap - in my bed - by myself.  It was great!  Michael brought him in for feedings and then he would take him out again.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
