Fourth of July Weekend

We had a very busy Fourth of July weekend! After getting back from Texas on Tuesday at 11:30 PM, I had just 2 short days to get ready to leave again for 4 nights.  On top of that, Noah has not been traveling well so I was nervous about going again.  While in Texas he slept in the bed with me, but since Rich was going for this weekend he was going to need to sleep in the Pack N Play...or that was the plan.  He also hasn't been sleeping in the car which makes for some very long trips.

Ok, so Friday we left for Rich's sisters 40th birthday party. What a fun time we had! Noah was such a trooper especially since we stayed at the party until almost 10:00 PM.

Before the party we got to hang out with Auntie Sue (Rich's sister), and take a very brief rest on the couch. 

During the party we ate some yummy food, watched all the older kids, played on the instruments, and danced.  And, I got to hold a 5 week old little girl which gave me baby fever.  Rich said no, not until Noah is 3. :(

On Saturday morning we went to breakfast with Susan, and then headed out to drive to the lake.  My family was already there and we spent 2 nights with them.  We had a good time playing at the pool, at the beach, and hanging out in the hotel room. My brother Josh came in for the weekend which was nice because we do not get to see him often.

Overall we had a fun weekend.  I wish I knew a trick to get Noah to sleep better in the Pack N Play.  It was kind of a nightmare with sleeping.  He ended up in the bed with Rich and me each night and considering Rich doesn't sleep well with Noah in the bed that means I was up most of the night monitoring the bed.

Noah does adjust pretty well when we get home and seems to be excited about being back in his own bed in his room.  He is such a trooper especially these past few weeks with all of the traveling.
