My Old Kentucky Home

Nash took his first road trip this week to visit family and friends in Kentucky. He did GREAT! In the car, adjusting to new surroundings, sleeping through the night....everything! Here are some highlights.

We did some relaxing with the Grandparents.



Nash met his Great-Granny and Papa Howard. I feel so blessed that Nash has TWO Great-Grandmothers and one Great Papa!



Four generations!


We took a gorgeous drive to Wallace Station to eat lunch. Nick and I saw it featured on The Food Network a few months back and ever since then, Nick wanted me to take him. It's nestled in the middle of some beautiful horse farms and they are just beginning to look pretty and springy again. I wish we had stopped and taken some pictures of the horses and daffodil-sprinkled countryside but these will have to do:

We visited and were visited by many friends over 4 days. It was sooo good to see everyone. Friends are good for the soul.

That's all for now! I'm starting the last half of the semester tomorrow so blogs will be few and far between but I'm getting better at it. Til next time.

Some pictures cause I promised!

Today, Nash is two months old! I took this picture when he was 4 weeks old (which I though constituted a month). He was beginning to smile for real!



I'm told that months aren't counted by weeks (4, 8, 12, etc...) so I took this picture today, March 11th on his two month birthday. He is much more smiley now and just about ready to start chuckling. I can't wait!

This weekend we are heading to Kentucky so Nash can meet his Great Granny and Papa Howard! My dad hasn't seen him since the day after we left the hospital (other than via skype) so he is super excited to see his grandson again, too. We've also got some other little future girlfriend babies to introduce to Nashy! I'm a little nervous about the drive but I'm sure he'll do great. He is a reeeeeeally good baby and I'm NOT just saying that! I just hope he doesn't sleep the whole way there and then keep us up all night. Oh well....we'll see! Say some prayers for safe travels for us and all the other "spring breakers." I'll leave you with another sweet picture or two. This might be my most favorite outfit of Nash's. I bought it for him on my Birthday shopping extravaganza day at Gymboree and it says "I Am the Future." I honestly didn't think he would be wearing it until sometime around AUGUSTish when he would ACTUALLY be "6to9" months old but if you haven't heard yet, we have a very big and very fast-growing baby! Oh, and yes, I HAVE busted into a certain Whitney Houston song while Nash was wearing this....that's probably why he's smiling ;)
