traveling

we decided it was time for david to see grandparents again so while casey worked in columbia, mo david and i hung out in unionville, mo. it was a very fun weekend. although david has only seen his grandparents a couple of times he felt completely comfortable with them. he loved his papa and pa very much. he would stop whatever he was doing to meet them at the door. i don't think grandma and nana were quite as impressed since they didn't get that same reaction.

he played and played and played some more. he ate all sorts of foods that momma doesn't give him very often and stayed up way past his bedtime every night. so i have a very tired boy now. he is actually still sleeping this morning which is rare.

the fun really came when david and i took off to meet casey in kansas city [2.5 hours away from unionville] so he could help me drive home. we got to the south side of kansas city only to realize casey was not going to be able to meet us. so, i took a big breathe, prayed for strength and patience and off we went. david and i on the open road of I-35 for 6 more hours. he was wonderful. his sweet little voice would call from the back, "all done?" when he was reaching his breaking point. thankfully it was a gorgeous day so when we stopped i just took him to a grassy area and we ran for a little bit. i think we sang the itsy bitsy spider and the ABC's a million times. although we know more songs that is all he wanted to sing.

i was so proud of him. although i don't want to do it again for quite awhile i now know that david and i could do if we needed to.
