Celebrating Aunt A and Uncle Jay

Zander and I had a "mommy-son weekend getaway" to Atlanta this past weekend!  We had a blast!! Zander was perfect for the five hour drive there and did awesome the entire trip! It was a fun little adventure for the two of us before his little brother (or sister) arrives in November (we find out the gender in less than two weeks!).  He got upset about an hour and half away from home this afternoon.  I am glad we don't have any long trips scheduled in the upcoming weeks.... I think he would like to be out of the car for a bit.  It was so fun getting to meet Jay's family and Amanda and Jay's friends at their luau themed couples' shower.  It got us even more excited about the wedding festivities this fall!!  This is a picture of Zander as we were going to grab breakfast Saturday morning before hanging out with the family.

 Ready for the luau!

Playing tennis/baseball/golf with PawPaw.  I think Zander tried to combine all three sports throughout the evening using that same tennis racket!  (Mommy is planning on getting her tennis racket out of the closet since this was such a big hit all evening).

 My sweaty boy!.... You can tell he had a blast!

 Our family

 Zander did awesome at the hotel both nights!  We don't typically share a room when we are at home or visiting family... so it is always a mystery if we will get a good night's sleep.  Zander loved watching cartoons with mommy in bed for a few minutes before we started our day. 

And a few pictures from the week....
Zander's favorite part of the weekly grocery shopping trip!

 Took Burke to the vet for a shot.....he was an anxious pup!

 17 weeks and counting.....

A co-worker and friend that is having a baby girl about 10 weeks before Baby Houston arrives.... she is so sweet and I love sharing this time with her!

 Leigh and Ethel visited on their way to the beach!  It is always a special treat to see these two.  (I forgot to get a picture with Leigh!)
