Weekend Rewind

This past weekend we took our first family trip since Henry was born. It was Chris's good friend Travis Dix's wedding in Priest Lake, Idaho. Chris was a groomsmen so we packed up (which took me 2 days to prepare all of us) and drove over on Thursday morning. Henry did great in that we only had to stop in Ellensberg and Spokane before getting to Priest. Our Spokane stop was at the Broderick's to meet little Pierson Shaw who is 1 month older than Henry and oh so cute! That pit stop was so chaotic but well worth it to meet this little guy. The hour we were there I spent all my time feeding, pumping, changing and cleaning up spit up (a lot of it!). But, hey I got to see one of my best girl friends and kiss those gorgeous cheeks of Pierson's. Here are a couple pics of the play date:
After we left Spokane we checked in to our cabin at Hills Resort in Priest Lake. It was so nice and peaceful. There was no phone or tv in the cabins and literally I got to lay there and hear absolutely nothing but the crackle of the fire while Henry and I napped as dad was out playing with the boys. I can't remember the last time that I was in a place that quiet. No distant car noise, neighbors, dogs, nothing. So incredibly relaxing. Also, my mom and stepdad came over on Friday evening to help babysit Henry while Chris and I enjoyed the wedding festivities. I am so blessed to have such wonderful parents. They took such great care of our little guy (and us!). We had so much fun seeing everyone and introducing Henry. Most of our friends over there have children now so it was fun to have baby talk and learn a few tips to help us out. One in particular the Miracle Blanket, which I had not heard of and had overnighted to my house. Should be here tomorrow! Stay tuned on progress...

Here are a few pics from our time at Priest:

Those pictures are wonderful of Henry and you look great! I'm glad you had fun and were able to relax while you were there - nothing better than being at a cabin with no noise but a crackling fire. I can't wait for our first family outing to the canal with our little one.
