Louisiana

Last weekend we went to Nana and Pops' house for the weekend for Madison's baptism and we had the very best time.  Benjamin loved getting to see Bubba, Auntie Heather and baby Madison, and of course Nana and Pops and Papa Doc!  We left Friday night and arrived in Lafayette around 11, which is way past everyone's bed time.  Our first night was somewhat rocky as Benjamin slept in the bed with Matt and I and he didn't fall asleep until around 2AM!  He thought it was so much fun to sleep with us!  We got to spend Saturday visiting with family and hanging out and on Sunday we celebrated Madison with a party after her baptism and Benjamin loved getting to play with all the kids.  Thomas did great for the most part but his schedule was WAY off and he was pretty cranky because of it.  I am usually a stickler for nap times because I follow the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and believe me, the healthier a child's sleep habits, the happier they are, but we were out of town and I just had to go with the flow and let it go.  It was super cute to see Thomas interact with Madison in their own baby talk sort of way.  Overall it was a great weekend and even though we all had very little sleep it was so good to get to see everyone and spend time with everyone!

Before we left for Louisiana on Friday night Benjamin asked if Pops could take him for a ride on the lawnmower again- and boy did Pops deliver!  He took Benjamin all around the neighborhood on that thing!
