A Wonderful, Perfect Weekend.

The house isn't clean, my diet didn't go well this weekend, I didn't get half the stuff done that I needed to.....but it was a wonderful, perfect weekend. Instead, I spent lots of quality time with Drew and my family! I'm learning (slowly) to not worry so much with the day-to-day unimportant tasks. Its OK if my house isn't clean tonight.

I'm sad its Sunday though.....that means work, and no baby Drew tomorrow.

But, I do have to say, that this weekend was great! Sam and I had planned to go to the AR/AL game and tailgate afterwards with friends on Saturday. Sam's wonderful aunt, Joyce, sent us their tickets to the game b/c they couldn't attend. THANK YOU! But, after my first day back to work on Monday, I had made up my mind.....I couldn't spend Saturday away from my Drew, which meant no football game for me. So, I called my bro....he agreed to go to the game with Sam (don't think we had to twist his arm very hard). Mom had already planned (its been on her calendar for a month) to come babysit Drew, so that we could attend the Razorback festivities. Jason hitched a ride with Mom, and him and Sam went to the game and tailgated. Mom, me & Drew got to hang out all day and shopped. Drew did great being out and about with us all day.

One of the best parts of the weekend was the two nights of amazing sleep that we got! Nana took care of Drew both Friday and Saturday night! I feel GREAT now - but I'm afraid Mom is probably a little sleepy. Drew was up quite a bit both nights. Saturday night we just vegged in at the house and ordered in yummy Guido's pizza!

THANK YOU MOM FOR A FUN, RELAXING, SLEEP FILLED WEEKEND. I LOVE YOU! I have always loved and appreciated my mom, but I swear that having a child of my own makes me love and appreciate my mom a million times more. I just don't know how to explain it! I miss her already and she just left this morning! :)

Today, I have spent most of the day just lovin' on my boy. Sam went to school for several hours. Drew and I cuddled and took at nap. Best 2 and a half hours of my day. All I have wanted to do this wkend was hold him. Then it was grocery shopping, dishes, and laundry.

I am going to miss my little munchkin so bad again tomorrow - I can already feel it. Work is good though - I am glad to be back. And I am busy as heck gearing up for our year-end and 10-K season....so that makes the day go fast. I really can't believe I've already made it through my first week back! Here's to week 2!

Here are a few pics from this wkend. Drew is getting so BIG and he is becoming the absolute sweetest, content, lovable little boy. I just want to SQUEEZE him, kiss him, love on him constantly. I think he's becoming a mommy's boy too......just ask Sam. I don't mind it too much. :)

Hope everyone has a great Monday!
