Baby-Free Weekend…and Family Time!

Well, I officially made it through the first weekend with Bryant away. And I have to say, it was quite nice! Yes, I missed him, but I honestly had fun. And it definitely made it easier knowing that he was having fun and not missing me much. My mom and dad said he was great! They played, went and saw Gran, swam in the pool, went to the park, and just had lots of fun! He was a perfect angel the whole time, and honestly only asked for "Mama" or "Daddy" a handful of times. YAY!!! As for me, I did not end up doing a whole lot of nothing like I had wanted, but oh well! On Friday night Josh and I went out with our friends Lauren & Justin, who were also baby free for the weekend. We had a great time! On Saturday I didn't get out of bed until 9:30! Josh left around 10:30 to go to the Braves game in Atlanta, and I met my sister, Shelley, and her family for lunch. They were in town for Shawn's family reunion. So I got to see them some! We had lunch at Irondale Cafe..aka Whistlestop Cafe from Fried Green Tomatoes. It was fun. Then after lunch I went over to my friend Natalie's house for the rest of the day. We just hung out at the pool and had girl time. My friend Lauren joined up with us later in the afternoon. It was lots of fun. I ended up not getting home until after 9:00. Then Sunday I tried to sleep in some again. We then went over to my Aunt & Uncle's house (where Shelley's family is staying) for lunch. My parents met us over there with Bryant. We had a great time! And of course I was very excited to have my baby back. :) All in all it was a success! However, I told my mom I was going to need another baby-free weekend again soon so that I could actually relax. :) Below are some pictures from my/our time with Shelley and her family on Saturday and Sunday!
