This past weekend our family of 4 took our first trip together (minus Polly this time, but it was for the best – trust me) to Chesapeake to see John’s family. Dylan got to meet his great-grandparents Mamaw and Great-Grandaddy Bryant and Great-Mamaw Ward! It was really exciting to introduce Dylan to the rest of the family and so nice to spend a relaxing day just hanging out, watching football and catching up.
It’s times like these that you realize how hard it is to live so far away, not just on us but the rest of our family. But one of the things John and I realized on this trip is that it does get a little easier to make visits like this as they get older. We let Sean stay up late in the hotel to watch Shrek and eat pizza with us the first night (TV and pizza… healthy, I know) and he acted like a crazy person the second night when Uncle Marshall and Aunt Megan came back to hang out. It was nice not having to race around and get him fed, bathed and into bed by 8 (which is exactly what we had to do with Dylan – I think he turns into a pumpkin after 8:15). Instead, we could hang out together and enjoy the trip and our family time together. But all in all, the boys did a great job, both slept through the night and took their naps during the day, and we are thankful that everyone took time to spend with us over the weekend.
