Traveling and too much stuff

When we used to travel it was a few items in the back of the car, but we could usually always see out the back. Now enter Evan into our lives. We seriously packed so much stuff we could not see out the back, the front seat was full (I ride in the back with Evan), and stuff was shoved in every space possible.

Who knew someone so little needed so much stuff?! We traveled to Minnesota for a long weekend with our families. Evan got to play on the beach and swing for the first time. He loved the swing a lot! Looks like we will have to find him one for home.

When we get in the car we know it could be 3 hours or 30 minutes before we have to stop again, we just never know. We made it 3 hours on the way up before Evan had a major blow out in his car seat. We stopped at a gas station to change him and I just did it in the back seat of the car. It was all over his car seat, hands, "puppy's" face (stuffed animal), legs and every where in between. People were just laughing at us trying to clean him up. We got him changed and continued on our way.

I forget what it is like to have Evan in our room at night. He is so mobile in his crib he rolls around all night - not good for mom and dad trying to sleep. Well let's rephrase that...Mom hears him all night.

Summer is going really fast and I don't want it to be over! I don't look forward to bundling Evan up each day for school.

On the beach so happy!
