What a great weekend we had! We took a road trip to T or C to visit Mike's family. Love getting to spend time with them. Mary did so well on the 6 hour drive up there. She also had three wonderful nights of sleep. First night she slept till until 4! The next night is was till 5! The final night she went down at 6:30, ate at 9, 3 and 8. She was worn out! Pour girl. It was nice to get all that sleep though. Hopefully she will keep it up! She certainly wowed her family that meet her for the first time. Scott had a blast as always. Grandpa Rudy spoiled the living day lights out of him. And of course he was the center of attention. LOL He ate tons of candy (thank you Grandpa Rudy), saw fireworks, got to play naked in the sprinkler (thank you Grandma), got to do some fireworks of his own and just had a blast. The grown ups didn't have too bad of a time either. Mike's brother, who is in the Navy in Seattle, came down and surprised his mom. She was the only one who didn't know. It was great! We went to the lake for fireworks, Bar-B-Que'd and got to visit a lot. It was a great weekend.
Other new updates about our family: Mary has started laughing, like belly laugh giggling. I love it! She is so cute. She still has her uncomfortable times in the afternoon. Usually around 5 we just can't get her peaceful. Hopefully this will pass soon. She is ready to move from her bassinet to her crib. This still hasn't happen yet cause mom still isn't ready even though Mary is. It will have to happen soon though. She's just getting too big. :( So sad that she is in her next size of clothes. It's ok. My "little" boy is growing as well. He is growing and learning so much. I don't know where he comes up with some things. He is so smart!! He makes these thoughts and complex phrases that he should not know as an almost 3 year old. Once we get him potty trained it's going to be hard to call him a toddler. He just doesn't act like one. Mike is still doing so well in his job. He is now overseeing three employees here. He makes a pretty good boss but he's always thought he was one anyway. :) He has to spend his two weeks with the Navy in Virgina soon so you will probably hear from me a lot more. I HATE when he's gone that long. And, me (Amanda) I'm still here being the mom. Sometimes thinking I'm going to loose my mind. But by God's grace I'm still here. :) Here are some pictures from this weekend to end my spill.
