A First

Friday afternoon we took Sawyer to Mush and Papa's for his first sleepover without mommy or daddy!!! Lance and I went to our church's Sunday School Leaders Retreat at Camp Caraway, so it was a perfect time for Sawyer to spend the night without us since we were only 10 minutes away!

We had a wonderful time at the retreat. It was a great time of refreshing and growing closer to our church family. We even got to take some walks around the camp and spend some much needed time alone just talking about our future. But we sure did miss our little one!

Sawyer, of course, was a perfect little angel (or at least that's what they told me!) minus the "Great Shoe Show Meltdown of 2012!" Apparently after dinner my mom and sister wanted to take Sawyer to get some new shoes and he just wasn't having it. And, it probably didn't help that Papa and Uncle Adam were encouraging Sawyer's little fit! Other than that, they said he was wonderful. He ate really well (and ate a salad for the first time), slept well (even though my mom thought his swimmy diaper was his night-time pull up! LOL!), and obeyed well. My mom took him out to run errands and he helped her with the chores. Sawyer played baseball cards with my dad and spent some time with Meredith and Adam.

Helping Mush with chores

Chatting with Bouncer

When we got back to my parents house Saturday afternoon, he didn't even care that we were there! He did, however, care that he had to leave Mush and Papa. He cried and cried and clung to Mush when I told him we had to go. But, that just made me happy, because I know that he had a great time and I know that he feels loved and safe and comfortable with them.

He lasted all of 4 minutes when we hit 220. He was
worn out! I'm quite sure Mush and Papa did the same
thing as soon as we left the driveway!

THANK YOU Mush and Papa (and Murf and Adam) for taking care of our little boy! We love how you love him and we love how he loves y'all! You are THE BEST!!!
