Last Saturday, Aunt Rebecca and her boyfriend Kerry came to visit during their Spring Break. We had a great time and they actually got to experience some of David’s “firsts”. On Saturday, we mainly just hung out at the house and let David meet Aunt Rebecca and Kerry.
On Sunday, we headed to church in the morning. Then, we drove to Indy where David got to experience his first trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. He slept through most of the trip and we spent most of our time inside since it was a little chilly, but we know he loved it :-)!! We also got some pictures of him “with” the animals we saw. Of course, we couldn’t resist the gift shop, where we bought him a sting ray stuffed animal (since that was one of the animals we saw) and a penguin bib that said “Waddle I eat today?”
After the zoo, David got to experience his first trip to the mall. We got a lot of comments about how little he was whenever we took him out of the stroller to change his diaper or feed him. After the mall, David also got to experience his first trip to a restaurant. We went to On the Border and he was actually awake most of the time we were there. All-in-all, he did pretty well and we had a fun time in Indy.
On Monday, we again spent most of the day indoors because the weather still wasn’t cooperating, but we had a good day anyway. We did go to Hobby Lobby and buy paint for Aunt Rebecca and Kerry to pain the top half of the wall in the nursery. We decided to go with cloud animals since the top half of the wall is a sky blue. Aunt Rebecca painted different cloud animals while Kerry painted some regular clouds around the animals. It looks adorable and we are so glad they could do that for us while they were here.
On Tuesday, Aunt Rebecca and Kerry spent a few hours watching David for me so I could go observe my two student teachers. It was a great help and I really appreciate it.
Finally, on Wednesday, we took another ride to Indy to drop Aunt Rebecca and Kerry off at the airport. We also stopped by the adoption agency so Katie (the birthmother counselor we’ve worked with) could meet David. She was very excited we stopped by and that she got to hold him for a little while. Then, we all headed to our first Baptism Prep class. I do think the big day to Indy got David a little off “schedule” so he was up until 2:15am last night, but hopefully with a more normal day today, he will sleep a little better tonight.
Here are A LOT of pictures of our visit with Aunt Rebecca and Kerry & a few others just for fun!!
