Memphis visit
















It is always so great to go home especially now that I have Wyatt. When you live so far away from your family, you just can't wait for them to dote on your baby. I love taking him there, because I know that my parents are excited about seeing him, and that is what you want when you have a child. That is the main reason that I have a hard time living in a different state. Friends are great, but unless they have children around the same age then they just listen but don't really care. My parents on the other hand love to listen and to see what he is doing. My mom has so far seen Wyatt at least every month for about 3-5 days at a time. She really shows me that she cares by driving so far about every other month to come and see him. I have flown to Memphis 2 times and driven once but every other time she has come here to see him (and she still works full time). So thanks mom for making the effort and I can't wait to see you this month. On this trip I also got to see my extremely beautiful sister and her extremely cute son. I dont know of many children that are as cute as he is. Everything about him is attractive. He has beautiful silky hair, tan skin, and the most amazing eyes. I guess he takes after his mom. I was so glad to see her. Although she lives so so far we have still managed to see Wyatt many times since he has been born (and she also works full time and lives about 8-9 hours away). I really appreciate her effort as well. She did not complain when I needed to put Wyatt to sleep for naps or bedtime. She did not try to push her ideas of no need for schedules off on me. She just took Elem outside where he could be loud and let Wyatt rest. Thanks Mindy. Well here are some pictures of our great weekend together. Our kids are the extreme opposites as you will see. Oh yeah and thanks sis for buying all the toys for the kids to leave at moms. Wyatt loved his excersaucer!

So glad you were able to come to Memphis and visit with your family! Looks like you had a great time and I totally agree with you about the friend issue. Unless your friends have kids, it's hard to find a common ground but the parents will ALWAYS listen! :)

Wyatt sure seemed to enjoy himself!! I'm glad you get to see your family so often. I know firsthand how much effort it takes, but it is always SO worth it!!

we loved seeing you too sis! Baby Wyatt is oh so sweet. And no we didnt mind the nap schedule at all. Hey even though we didnt exactly get them in a picture together, it almost looks like we did in that one where Wyatt is in the exersaucer and Elem's 6 month pic is behind him. haha. Nicely done.
