When Daddy is away, we play!

Thursday Jay went to Florida with 2 of our friends, Tim & CP. I really thought it would be a good thing for him to get away, rest & relax. He has had a great time out on the boat, dining like kings. This trip of his had definitely opened my eyes, I think sometimes its easy to get caught up in the mundane day to day stuff and not realize how good you have it. Its only been 5 days and I miss him so much, I didn't realize how much he helped me both physcially and mentally with Britten. He is my sounding board he eases my anxiety of being a new mom, he is more than anything my rock. I think his vacation gave me something more than it probably gave him!
Friday night Britten's GG (my mom) came over and stayed the night with us, we had a great dinner and watched The Blind Side (excellent flick, a real tear jerker!) saturday morning she got to see Britten in his element! He is such a morning baby, he plays and coo's! There is no way to have a bad day when you get to wake up to his little smile and his curiousity of the day! Saturday afternoon Britten & I went on our first solo roadtrip. We went up to Williamsburg to celebrate Amy Jo's birthday. If you would have asked me 2 years ago how I thought all of us would be celebrating our big birthday's my life now would have not been the answer. But, I love where life has taken me, and I love that I have a best friend that is enjoying the ride with me! Amy didn't mind that I was carrying a diaper bag instead of a 6 pack, or that I have distinct smell of maple syrup these days, she was just happy that Britten and I came to give her big hugs on her big birthday! Happy Birthday my sweet friend, I love you so much!


And now to today, Another big day for the Lewis'. Mister man would not nap. After several explosions, several sheet changes, I finally gave up and we went to target. Being the naturally curious kid that he is, he loves public places. Loves to people watch! We then went to a baby shower for one of my oldest friends! Melissa her husband Robert & little man Jake will be welcoming a little princess in July! I am so excited for her! Then we went to the kickball field but it was way to hot for the mister man, so we came home he hung out in his skibbies!

We miss our man of the house and can't wait till he gets home tomorrow, but atleast we had great friends and family to keep us company!!!
p.s. Thanks Storcky for putting the pop up tent back in the bag for me, my rear view mirror thanks you!
