Well, Abram and I took a great trip to Waco/China Spring this weekend. All the grandparents and the one great grandparent were so excited to see him. He's developed such a cute personality that he is winning over everyone's hearts. One man stopped me outside of a restaurant we ate at just to tell me how beautiful Abram is. I'd have to agree. All the smiles and the visits were worth the terrible trip Abram put me through. I don't think I'll attempt traveling alone with him again for quite some time. On the way to Waco early Sat. morning, he was great up until around Georgetown. So we pulled over for a couple of minutes, that satisfied him til about Temple. Stopped again, lasted to Lorena....ugh it was exhausting. Then, on the way home.... same thing about the last hour and a half of the trip. Poor baby was so tired of being lugged around. On another note, What the hell happened to all of the gentleman? We stopped at a Starbucks knock-off in San Marcos during one of Abram's crying spells. On the way in, I noticed three nicely dressed middle-aged men sitting right by the entrance. They were all just watching me struggle with carrying Abram and all of his and my stuff. Since they stared the whole way in, I thought for sure they were going to get up and open the door. Now, I'm not usually one to ask for help from complete strangers. Nor do I usually have any faith that people are nice anymore. Well, they just watched me barely get through the door in the freezing cold with my infant son. I fed and changed Abram and got a tea and was on my way. On the way out, once again, barely made it out the door. Not even a flinch from a single one of them to help me. WTH? Thank the Lord I am blessed with such an amazing husband, because I know he would help anyone, not just a lady, who he saw struggling. So would my brother and my dad. I can't think of a man in my life who wouldn't do something like this for someone else. Perfect example of why I have lost faith in people..... people are no longer willing to help anyone else. Anywho, I'll stop feeling sorry for myself. All this to say it took me all of Monday and a nice glass of wine to recover from the trip. So glad we got to see everyone! Here are some pics from the trip. By the way, John (granddaddy) and Abram did not plan the coordinating outfits!
