First Trip to Killen

I took Connor on his first trip to Killen this past weekend to visit everyone up there. I was very nervous to go because Clay decided to stay here to study and work on school work. Connor did great the first hour in the car, then it was like a light bulb went off and he got very upset. I had to stop and pull over about 8-10 times. I changed him, I fed him, I walked him around the car, I talked to him, I sang to him, I tried everything I could think of to make him stop crying but he just kept on screaming. Finally, after calling Clay, I decided I was just going to have to drive and let him cry. So I did. And he cried the rest of the way. By the time we made it there I had a busting headache and was very tired. But we made it safely. We had a great time visiting with my parents, friends, and relatives. My grandparents really enjoyed meeting Connor for the first time. They just loved every minute of it! My parents were overjoyed to have Connor at their house and to spend the weekend with him. I finally let Connor stay in my parents room the last night so that I could get a full nights sleep without waking up to feed him every 3 hours since I haven't had one since he's been born. I was so thankful that my mom wanted to do it. I really needed that sleep! We also made his one month pictures while we were there. I had so many to go through and choose from and they were sooooo good! I can't wait to get them back. My dad spent a lot of time doing them and I'm very appreciative.

It was sad to leave, but I really missed Clay and Clay definitely missed us. He checked in on us constantly! I don't think he wants us to do that anymore without him.
