A couple of weekends before Thanksgiving, we headed up to my uncle's place on the White River to enjoy a lazy fall weekend.
It was a perfect weekend. It was cold and crisp outside, very fallish. We arrived late Friday afternoon and Crosby slept from the time we left until Marshall. He was a really good traveler this trip. We slept good, ate good, enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate and kept the fire going the entire weekend.
I was really worried about how Crosby would sleep. When we went on a trip for Labor Day, he did not sleep good in a strange place at all. Waking every hour and then up by 4:30 am did not make for a happy family. Miraculously, at Gill's this particular weekend, he slept all night and was up at his usual 5:30 am!! We shan't complain about that.
The best part for us, was just not having an agenda and time to relax. It can sometimes be hard to relax at home on the weekends. Sometimes it feels like you have to fit in everything you can't get done during the week. I'm often torn between all that I should be doing, and just holding and playing with Crosby. Here, I was able to sit, still my mind and just enjoy Crosby and Lance. I tell ya, it was bliss!
It was also nice for the HOGS to get their first SEC win. WPS!
Thank goodness for the travel high chair!
Lance geared up to fish. It was really cold! Crosby and I watched him from the windows that morning. You can see a little bit of the fall colors that were left on the trees. It was really beautiful out!
That afternoon, Handsome and I also piled on warm gear to go outside with Daddy.
Crosby had so many clothes on, it was hard for him to walk!
But how cute is my little bear?
He was as fascinated with the rocks this time as he was the last time!
I love this little face!
Thanks for having us, Uncle Gill.
I am grateful for a relaxing weekend and time with my little family.
Love,
Carmen
