The Manager

Yes, I'm back. Back from vacation, back to work, back on the blog.

So, vacation was great. We had seven full days packed with family, friends, food (BUENO & BRAUMS!), and fun. It's always hard to come back from vacation. I feel like I need a few days to recuperate, especially traveling with a seven month old. His schedule was totally off the entire time we were there. He would only nap for an hour each day, which makes for exhausting days for me. But he did great on the plane, I can't complain about that. Our flight out of Utah was late, and we were hoping he would sleep. But he didn't. Luckily he just laid across our laps and snuggled in his blanket most of the way. Poor guy didn't go to sleep until 1am. The way back he was a bit more energetic with it being an afternoon flight, but I think he was so exhausted from the entire week he ended up sleeping over an hour. It was so nice having him sleep in my arms. It's not that often I can hold him while he sleeps, so I relished every moment of it. My legs were falling asleep and I was totally uncomfortable on the plane ride home, but I loved watching him sleep peacefully on my lap.

Visiting Oklahoma reminded me of just how much I love it there.

Here's some pictures for you to enjoy:

Nathan and I totally exhausted after a VERY long day.

Nathan with Grammie Debi and Izzie ... who didn't enjoy her hair being pulled

Nathan with Grandpa Tom (he's got lots of grandparents)

Notice a trend? He always has to have something in his mouth ...

... again ...

... and again.

First he'll look at it ...

... then straight to the mouth!

This has nothing to do with our vacation, but Nate met a new friend the other day. This is Jace.
