Back in NC

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello cutie!  Welcome back to North Carolina!  :-)  Before we made it back here, however, we all ended up having a long morning ....

You see, you didn't sleep very well last night and this morning!  You took a late bottle around 11pm, but then woke back up and needed another bottle between 1am-2am!  Every time one of us tried to put you down, you would wake up and cry!  Finally, daddy ended up picking you up and held you until you fell asleep on his belly.  We ended up putting you back in the bassinet at 4:17am this morning.  :-P

So, how did it feel to see the mountains for the first time?  We had beautiful weather here and the landscape was stunning.  :-)  It reminds you of how powerful God is.  The mountains are referenced a lot in songs.  In one of my favorite songs, "Shout to the Lord," there's a song line that states "Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of your name!"  The mountains are peaceful, and we certainly had a good time there this weekend visiting with family.  :-)

This was also your first out-of-state trip.  Woo hoo!  I'm sure you'll continue to travel as you get bigger.  

When we got home, we did a lot of laundry to catch up from this weekend.  You also took a little nap with daddy.  

After the nap, you and I played together and you ate some oatmeal.  Daddy vacuumed our car!  It looks brand new!  He cleaned out the entire inside.  What a good daddy!  

This evening, we went to the grocery store since we had no food in the townhouse.  :-P  I held you in the carrier and you fell asleep on me as we walked around.  

Once we got back home, you took a little bottle and eventually fell asleep around 11pm.  I hope you sleep better tonight!  :-P

Sleep tight little angel!

I love you!  :-)
