First night away from Braylen

Braylen, Nick, and I all survived our first night away. Nick and I went to Birmingham Friday afternoon so that I could attend a CE at Samford on Saturday. Nick's mom stayed with Braylen while we were gone and took care of the dogs too. Thanks so much Miss Pam! I think Braylen behaved pretty well while we were gone and I think she had a good time too! We were glad to get home last night, but I didn't get to see Braylen until 3am this morning since he was already in bed when we got home. Even though we could have slept all night Friday night, I still woke up every hour expecting to hear him.

This morning, I had really good intentions on taking Braylen to church for the 1st time. I learned a very important lesson... start getting ready very, very early! Of course nothing went as planned and the world's biggest poopy diaper was the last straw. We didn't quite make it this morning, but will try again next Sunday, starting much earlier! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

The weekend was a success!

The Ollie's Army poker run was so much fun this weekend. Lynsey, you did a great job organizing it. I hope you all raised a bunch of money for cystic fibrosis. From the looks of the crowd, I bet you did really well! We had a great time. Braylen was along for the boat ride and overall he did really well. As long as we were moving, and he was bouncing, he was fine. Each pier we stopped at, he would wake up and fuss a little, but overall he did great! It was a little stressful having the baby with us, so unfortunately I forgot all about taking photos. So much for the picture of Braylen's first boat ride!

Braylen is doing great. He has slept through the night for the past 3 nights. We are hoping it continues, because it sure makes it easier on us! Hope everyone is doing great. I will send another update soon!

Getting ready for the weekend

Well, it seems like everyone is enjoying the new blog, so I will try to keep it up to date! We are getting ready for a big weekend. Braylen is going to make his first boating trip up at Gantt Lake. We are going to the big fundraiser for cystic fibrosis honoring Ollie Dubose (one of Braylen's future classmates). It should be interesting taking him to the lake. I feel like we are going to have to pack the house before we go! I also wanted to update everyone on the new house progress. There is a little bit of a hold up with the cabinets, but everything is progressing well. The outside is pretty much completed, as well as painting, crown molding, and tile. The hardwood floors should be installed in the next couple of weeks. The massive amount of rain we have had lately has also been slowing things down a little. We hope to be in the new house in the next few months. We still haven't had any luck with selling our house, so if you know of anyone interested, spread the word! I am including some more pictures of Braylen, as well as a picture of the new house. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Just getting started

Hey everyone! Thought I would give this a try, since it seems to be the thing to do right now. Well, Braylen has been pretty busy the past week. He has been to play golf with Nick, swimming at Amy and Tanner's pool, and on lots of errands with me. He is doing great - gaining weight, sleeping really good for a 5 week old, and even smiling at me now. Life sure is different now, but it is so much fun!
