First Hotel Trip & More!

It seems like it has been forever since I last wrote a blog, but it is only because the last week has been insanely busy for us! We took our first overnight family trip to stay in a hotel. The daddy was best man in a wedding, so we loaded up the car & headed out for the weekend!

Since we were going to be busy with wedding tasks, Nana & Poppers drove down and Grammy came with us & stayed with her parents. Nana & Poppers watched him on Friday during the rehearsal and Grammy watched him while we all went to the wedding on Saturday.

As soon as we got to the hotel, Little Dude had so much fun exploring every inch of the room. I mean, every single inch... including his luggage!
Right before the daddy & I headed out for dinner, there was a knock at the door. Little Dude was being treated to the real luxury hotel experience! Not only did he get a stuffed pony at check-in, he also got a room service tray!

We had so much fun at the wedding. It was a great opportunity for me to take pictures to build up my portfolio. Here are a couple of my favorites of the beautiful bride & groom!

Since we've been back in town, I've had a photo shoot, a focus group and numerous piles of laundry to get caught up on. It is really a juggling act to get all of my stuff done & keep BOTH eyes on the Little Dude. He is so curious. Even our poor cat can't get a moment of privacy...

And what a joyful moment it was when Little Dude showed me this little trick. I have a strange feeling that things are going to get even more interesting around here.

Thank goodness he is so cute! He has been on a loving streak as of late. He gives hugs & kisses (to his mommy, at least) all the time! It melts my heart every time he leans in with a big, slobbery, open mouth kiss. He keeps me on my toes all the time which is fun, but it is the quiet moments like that which remind me how sweet & precious he truly is.
