AaaaR-KAN-SAS for Arkansas!

Miles and I had a blast in Arkansas!  We spent time with friends I haven't seen in forever, Miles met some family members for the first time, and Nonna and Papa G re-learned how to get up in the middle of the night to change diapers!  We had such a wonderful time I sometimes forgot to take pictures!

Although the week was perfect timing for our family, it was a different story for my parents. My Dad is working 12+ hour days at the Plant and Mom had already signed up for a continuing education course in Branson.  So...Miles and I found ways to keep ourselves busy during the day.  We spent time with some friends I haven't seen in forever! Valerie, Amber, Jeb, Nicole...we loved spending time with all of you and your families and I remember why you are still some of my closest friends!
(Insert pictures I did not take of all of their kiddos...it was so fun seeing all of them!!)

This week also included Halloween!  As many of you  know, I love costumes.  That is why I could've kicked myself when October 31st rolled around, and neither Miles or I had costumes!  Granted we had no plans, but for pictures, family, and mainly my satisfaction I decided to scour my parents house for something to put on the two of us.  Luckily, I get my packrat qualities from my parents and we hit the jackpot! 

Miles also got to meet his aunt JeanAnn and cousin Corie this week.  They drove down from Little Rock with my grandparents and Miles just 'happened' to wake up the minute they got there! 

I battled all week with the decision to travel to Fayetteville to visit my best friends and watch the Razorback game.  I kept telling people my parents were nervous to have Miles overnight...but in reality it was me!  After prepping bottles, outfits, and his schedule for my parents, I decided to drive up Friday night for dinner and a night out with the girls. I woke up early Saturday morning and drove home to a happy, clean, live baby so we all survived! It was nice to see my girls and have a night out! I don't see or talk to these girls as often as I should, but they mean the world to me!!

As much fun as we had visiting friends and family, the highlight of our week was spending time with Nonna and Papa G!  They are amazing parents and grandparents and it meant so much that we could spend the week with them.

And Aunt Tiffany!!!

We had a great week but it feels good to be home with Bryan!  Miles and I are planning a lazy week and the past two rainy days have kept us true to that plan.  He is growing so fast and already in some 6 month outfits!!  He weighs 14 pounds and getting more rolls by the day.  I love him so much and thankful I am getting this time with him!  See you Friday! xoxo
