Sibley's spring break (who knew daycare closed for spring break??) coincided with Derek's work conference in Chicago. So I took a few days off work and stayed home with her, then we made a little road trip to get her all settled in at my parents' house for the second half of the week. It worked out well since she was on the mend from her ear infection. We had some lovely mommy-daughter down time and plenty of cuddles.
I came back to Jackson Wednesday night and went back to work on Thursday. Derek was supposed to come home from Chicago that night but got delayed in Atlanta for the night because of weather.
After a LONG trip, he finally made it home safely on Friday, just in time for us to have a little belated anniversary date night (8 years!) and to get real for the St. Paddy's parade on Saturday.
It was a long week, but it was good timing for there to be so much going on, and we had a great time at the parade and were super excited to get the munchkin back on Sunday.
My parents even took her to the Hattiesburg parade. I think she had fun, despite the unimpressed look on her face.
This past weekend we went to the lake for a little family time and some R&R with our good friends, the Gorneys.
I sadly didn't take many pics, but Sibley had so much fun playing with sweet Ella Grace and cousins Cash and Frances. It was perfect, and a much needed relaxing getaway.
Spring is always a busy time of year, and this year is proving to be no exception.
I'm heading to Atlanta next week for work, and Derek will be a single parent for the first extended period of time, so here's hoping for a happy baby and happy daddy when I return. It's going to be a very long five days for mama, too. :(
