Road Trip

On Wednesday of last week Joshua and I embarked on a road trip for the day.  We stopped in Albemarle and got to visit with Grandma, Gaga, Aunt Pam, Ma and Poppy!  Grandma treated us to lunch at Rosebriar!!  I haven't had their Reese's Pie in sooo long.  It was such a wonderful treat!!  Thanks Grandma!  After our visit in Albemarle we headed to Concord.  We stopped by Yaya's (my mom) school so that she could show Joshua off to all of her co-workers.  They all seemed to enjoy meeting him.  Then we stopped and got a real Cherry Lemon Sundrop before heading to Granny's house!  We surprised Granny with our visit b/c my mom had not told her we were coming to town.  She was so happy to see us she almost cried!  We also got to visit with Aunt Angel and cousin Courtney before heading back home.  It was an exhausting day but was well worth it!  We so enjoyed seeing everyone.  I just wish Derek could have come with us.  And sadly, we will not be able to do that again for a long time as I have to go back to work on Monday (the 6th).  I am so sad to be leaving my little man.  We have had such fun these last twelve weeks that I've been able to stay at home with him.  I hate to have to go back to work, but I am so thankful that I got off as long as I did.  I'm sure I'll shed some tears on Monday as I leave him for work.  We're leaving him in good hands, though.  Our friend Nichole is going to be keeping him at her house with her little boy.

Joshua is such a sweet and fun little boy.  We are so blessed to have him!  He will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and is still growing like a weed.  He smiles so much now!  My favorite thing he does now is if I stick my tongue out at him he'll copy me and stick his out!  I know I'll regret encouraging this one day, but for now it is just so cute!
