Trip to Lincoln

A few weekends ago James and I traveled back home to Lincoln. I had the gift of being in Makayla and Tom's wedding, they are friends from college, and I jokingly told people that I was leaving James with Tyler for the weekend. I think I joked about it mostly with Tyler, because he was looking forward to a football weekend! But I knew I would be in big trouble if I didn't bring James to see his Grandparents! And I'm not ready to leave him yet, haha.

James is a fun buddy to hang out with. He did great on the plane trips, except for the last 20 minutes of our return flight because we got in at 10pm and it was way past his bedtime. We'll try not to do that again if we can help it!

We had a great trip. It was a quick weekend and was exhausting but definitely worth it to be there to celebrate with Makayla and Tom and to have time with my parents. The wedding was beautiful! It was at the Newman center, where Tyler and I got married, but they recently built a new church and it is amazing and so beautiful! Other than freezing most of the day it was fun to be back in Lincoln! I guess I'm not used to the cold anymore!

James spent Saturday with mom and dad. I don't know who had a better day, James or mom and dad!

Thankfully James did great, as I knew he would, but I had never left him for a full day before. Mom and dad are pros and successfully got him down for naps and bedtime and he ate like a champ for them too! God knew what he was doing when he created grandparents!


On the way back in the airport we found the kids play area and James had fun exploring.
Maybe a future pilot? We are already looking forward to our next trip to Lincoln. We love you grandma and grandpa!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to Dream Field Farms and had a beautiful afternoon enjoying the Alabama fall day! James got to explore his first pumpkin patch and he had a lot of fun walking around and watching everyone. He also liked to push his own stroller.

James was fascinated by everyone around us

We finished our visit with a tasty treat-a funnel cake! We had a really fun time at the pumpkin patch and look forward to making it a yearly tradition!
