Weekend in Greenville

So we went to Greenville on Thursday and stayed through yesterday to see the Higgins, since they had yet to meet their new grandson. The car trip went pretty well - the baby slept the whole way except when he woke up to eat and Jack watched Elmo, Wiggles, Barney and snacked in the car. Being in Greenville was weird - so many memories of when Matt and I first met and started our lives and family together has made me feel a bit nostalgic lately - and has made me realize how fast time flies. It's hard to believe that Matt and I have been together for almost 6 years now. Now we are married and have 2 kids - CRAZY. Okay, enough of the reminiscing.

The weekend was fun, but I wish that I had felt better. This cold that I've had for 2 weeks now is now manifesting itself as a sinus infection and Patrick is still stuffy making him work really hard to eat and rest. So, neither of us slept very well all weekend and were a little cranky. Jack even started exhibiting some jealousy mostly when Matt was holding the baby - Jack would start whining and reaching for Matt to hold hime. I was like "Where is this coming from?" He's been so great so far.

Judy and Dennis and Clay came over Saturday night to eat dinner and meet Patrick. Everyone seemed to enjoy him and he seemed to enjoy everyone - he about broke his neck trying to look at whoever was holding/talking to him - it was so cute!

Jack had a good time too, he got lots of Easter presents. He especially loved the bubbles (it came with a cool container that was no-spill which is PERFECT for Jack!!) Both boys got some matching outfits too - I can't wait until it's warm enough to wear them. Jack did go ahead and wear his elephant overalls - they were just too cute that I had to see them on.
I got some great stuff too for my birthday, which is today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! Not really that special-feeling, just another Monday which isn't so bad. Matt's present to me (which I proposed) is once the baby is out of our bed and sleeping better, he will take care of both boys for one full night and let me sleep in the next morning. All I want for my birthday is one full night's rest, uninterrupted. Otherwise, the boys and I are just hanging out today, we'll go outside later and finish cleaning up the mess that the raccoons made of our trash out in the yard while we were gone.

Enjoy some of the pictures that I took this weekend. I'm off to do another load of laundry and straighten up the house some - not too much though. I go back to work probably next week so I'm trying to spend as much time with the family before that.
