What a weekend! We made a whirlwind trip up to Atlanta to see friends- it was so much fun!
We started out at Hudon and Carolene's house for lunch. This is a couple that Jon lived with when he lived in Fayetteville the first time, before he met me. They absolutely fell in love with Jon (how could you not?), and I have enjoyed getting to know them over these past few years as well. Since Carolene couldn't get Jon married off to anyone in her own family, she has "adopted" us- though Sophie has 3 grandparents, 6 great-grandparents, and 1 great-great grandmother still with us, there is always room for a set of adopted grandparents as well! Carolene just couldn't bear to put her down all day- and Sophie seemed to enjoy getting loved on!
Then we went to Rocky and Carolyn's- these are good friends of ours from when we lived there. It was so great to reconnect with them! The last time we made plans to get together, Sophie changed them by deciding to enter the outside world that same weekend...
Sunday morning we went to Fayette Bible Church- I realize more and more how little I matter when I have a baby in my arms! It was great to see not only people from the church, but several of the students as well! (though it was weird that a couple jr. high boys who were shorter than me when we left now tower over me, only a year later...)
After that, we went to Jon's old guard unit for his farewell and awards ceremony. I'll let you read Jon's blog about that (hopefully he'll post tonight...) but suffice it to say it was REALLY cool- I'm so proud of him!!
Sophie must have been so tired from the weekend that she only got up ONCE in the middle of the night! I have been working on spacing out her feedings a little more and getting more scheduled- knock on wood, but I think it may be paying off! I fed her at about 8:45pm, she woke up at about 2:45, then not again until almost 7! For being a wee 7lbs, I don't think I could ask for much more...
Anyway, I'm off to unpack and do laundry! Hope y'all have a great day!

I find it to be so amusing that the mom who carries the baby is now just like so much chopped liver, we matter not in the big scheme of things. They are the star, they get the ooos and aahs, (as it should be, I might add.)
My kids have several sets of adopted grandprents, one can never have too many.
Thank you for your comment about my sewing! I have thoroughly enjoyed sewing especially making quilts and my valances but unfortunately, find myself with not as much time these days! Sounds like you guys had a wonderful day!! God bless you and your family!
I so proud to here how you guys are doing! What a blessing to have a baby that age--I'm glad Jon was there to spent this time!
I have something for you over at my blog, check it out at the post titled My First Bloggy Award.
