Just Going with It...

What a week it was last week...

I am learning that once you have children, your life changes... BIG TIME! All for the good, but it's definitely WAY different!

The simplest tasks are not simple anymore, and life gets a bit more challenging. But with each new challenge brings joy and accomplishment. Quick trips to the grocery or to the mall or to anywhere are not "quick" anymore... Ha! And even longer trips, say to visit family in Indiana, have become longer and LOUDER.

This past week, I thought to myself, "What a great week to go visit family and to see my bestest, Stephanie, as she just had a baby a few weeks back!" I could make the quick trip down with Jackson, and we could spend a few days hanging with family. We are going to be getting pretty crazy with weddings soon, and it was the PERFECT time before life gets in full swing chaos. Little did I know that, long trips are super challenging alone. Ha! Needless to say, Jackson broke his screaming record of an hour and a half. I felt terrible, but there was absolutely nothing I could do in the car to entertain him. Oh well... we both survived, even if he's now sick with a cold. I'm pretty sure he would agree it was worth it and sometimes you have to learn to just go with it...

He loved visiting with his FAVORITE auntie...



Lots of playing with his cousins... Miss Izzy B... who he loves so much! Despite this photo, she wasn't trying to hurt him... haha!



And Miss Emmie... they loved playing or I should say, stealing toys back and forth from each other. They both wanted what the other one had... so funny!



Here is a short video of them playing together... it's so funny to see Miss Emmie get so upset that Jackson has the remote, but then gets so giddy when she gets it from him. (Emmie is very vocal compared to Jackson... he barely says a peep! Ha!)



Making a quick visit to Indy to see my bestie... Miss her mucho!!!



And her kiddos... Landon is such a great big brother!!!



Happy Monday... it feels good to be home!!!
