Busy Weekend!

We had such a busy weekend, but lots of fun with the boys. Friday night, they got to stay with Aunt Faith while Zach & I went to a Valentines dinner at church. Zach's parents also stopped by with Valentine surprises. The boys got stuffed dogs that sing Burt Bacarach's Close to You. Love it!

On Saturday, everyone was up early, so we went to breakfast at Waffle House, then a quick trip to Lowes. Elias was really tired during the whole outing, but Jacob was a sweetie. When we were in Lowes, Elias was sitting in the cart seat, and Jacob was in his car seat in the basket. Elias kept turning around to see Jacob or talk to him. So cute!

Both boys took naps when we got home, and the Catoes stopped by for a bit. Jacob woke up, so he got to visit - very talkative! Then we spent some time with Poppy, who brought more stuffed animals - yep, dogs! before we went out for lunch. We had thought to go to B'ham, but never made it, so we went to Mater's pizza, then Walmart & the Mall. Both boys were pretty fussy, so we didn't stay long. Elias, true to form, still had to wave to everyone as we were leaving. :o)

Sunday we were up early for church; I got to play with the boys while Zach practiced with the worship team. Elias was up onstage with our friend Amber, and he wanted to sing in the microphone like Daddy. Of course, then he didn't want to give up the mic for Amber to sing! We spent the rest of practice dancing around and chasing each other. Then, when everyone was arriving for church, Elias kept going around telling people 'morning!' A regular little greeter.

Both boys slept during church - so sweet. They must not have gotten their naps out, though. We went to lunch with Zach's family, and they were both fussy! Meals out, we're 0 for 3 this weekend! By the time we got home, neither one wanted to take a nap, even though we tried to get them to sleep several times. So we watched E run around & play, while J played in the swing or saucer. Finally around 5:30 p.m. Jacob fell asleep in my arms. Elias went strong until after 8 p.m.!

All in all, it was a fun weekend to spend together as a family. Now for a few days of rest before the week picks up!
