Family and Fatigue

We had such a nice time at the family gathering this weekend! I”m pretty sure none of you guys read this, and that is completely fine, but I love you all! It was so refreshing to finally spend enough time with you to be able to put names confidently to faces. Who knew there were so many cute babies in my family?! And to my aunties and cousins, thank you for keeping tabs on my son while I went zip lining. I don’t often get Dekker-free time, and while I love him dearly, an hour or two off is refreshing for me and my arms. You would know after holding him.

Once we returned from our day at the reunion, Dekker crawled his first few inches. I am not calling it “the day be started crawling” because he really hasn’t figured it out yet, and he barely did it again today, but he’s very close, and trying hard. He was such a trooper for being so tired after his day away.

We spent this evening dropping off Brady’s dad at the airport, and are eagerly awaiting a day at the lake tomorrow with his mom. I have no had a good solid beach day in quite some time, and Dekker has never been to the lake. Hopefully he enjoys it, even though he’ll likely have another nap-free day.

We just put out bawling, exhausted son to bed. He quieted as soon as we placed him in his crib. I’m more and more proud of him every day, if you haven’t noticed. I think I will take a hint from him and hit the sack soon. After my bubble bath. And a snack.
