Weekend at Mama and Papa's!

Every year, the Red Sox play the Texas Rangers in Arlington, TX (about 5 hours away) and since Eric is such a big Red Sox fan, we try to go every year to see them. Also, Dallas has some cool things/stores/restaurants that we don't have up here, so it's always a fun trip. Well, this year, they played them the weekend before last, so we decided that since Hannah was almost 3 months old, it would be a good time to see how she does overnight at my parent's house without us. We only went down for one night, but we crammed a bunch of stuff into the 20 hours we were there! We went to Ikea, and to dinner (hooray for my first margarita in a year!) and to the game. We were going to go on a Dallas Cowboys Stadium tour, but we didn't get a chance to - thanks to our GPS guiding us through the DFW Airport instead of the highway! For future reference, when trying to go somewhere that is new, make sure you have the updated maps on your GPS!

Eric and I had such a great time and it was really nice for us to get away, but we missed Hannah so much! Hannah, on the other hand, was in heaven - being held and played with all weekend! My parents live next door to my Aunt Pam, who was also soaking in some Hannah-time. Here are some pictures of her weekend away... she has her own space in one of the guest rooms (actually, it's more like Eric and I now have a bed in Hannah's room). She also had her first cold that weekend (I know... I'm a terrible mother for leaving her when she had her first cold, but in my defense, I thought it was just allergies!) But, that would explain her red eyes in some of the pictures! Thankfully, it didn't last long and she is feeling great now...


It's a shame she's always so neglected :)

This was what I got my mom for Mother's Day this year... It says "That's it, I'm off to Grandma's" and at the bottom it says "The reason grandchildren and grandparents get along so well is that they have a common enemy." I thought that was funny!
