Well, we just got back from our road trip to Chicago for Thanksgiving and we really had a wonderful time. The drive up was a long day but all of the time spent in the car went surprisingly well for having a 3-year-old back seat driver. Thank goodness for the iPad and movies on the go!
It was so nice to be able to spend time with family and friends this weekend and the highlight that Riley had been looking forward to was meeting his new baby cousin, Harvey. He had been talking about it for weeks and was really excited to see him and I think the experience lived up to the hype. He was excited to hold him and wanted to talk to him and even play football - maybe we will have to work on explaining the timing a little better for when he has a baby brother of his own.
It was exciting for Chris and I too, to meet our nephew, because even though we are parents, we have never been an aunt and uncle before - so that was something new to add to the resume. Harvey was very sweet and loved to be held. He was sleepy and quiet during a lot of the family time and was really a model 4-week old letting everyone snuggle when they wanted but also did his own thing in his swing for hours at a time.
Now we get to look forward to our next family visit - whenever that may be!
