Road Trippin’
On Wednesday, December 19th the counseling gals at CHHS threw Dean a little shower. I was super excited to bring Dean to school for a social event and looked forward to seeing all of my coworkers again. The shower was lovely and to my surprise they showered me not Dean! I ended up with a tree of awesome coupons to be cashed in for free babysitting, advice, and errand running in addition to gift certificates to get my nails and hair done…what more could a mom ask for!
After the shower Dean and I headed over to his school to meet his teacher. His teacher appears to be very nice and I’m sure that he will be very happy getting to know her. I on the other hand am having a nervous break down thinking about my baby starting school but thankfully I feel super comfortable with our choice of day cares.
As if the shower and school visit weren’t enough for one day Dean and I loaded up and started part one of our road trip to Houston. We made plans to spend the night with my grandparents in Huntsville. Dean had only met his great grands one time so this was a special time just for them. He made the trip like a champ. I never heard a peep out of him the entire ride. At one point I contemplated pulling over just to see if he was still breathing.
Dean and I enjoyed a lovely night at Granny and Pops. Granny was eager to spend time with Dean and did a great job spoiling us both while we were visiting. She loved, played with and held Dean the entire time we were visiting while Pop spoiled me with great food and company. I was sad that our stay in Huntsville was so short but two grandmothers were eager to get their hands on Dean. We look forward to visiting again on one of our future trips home.

How blessed you are with this wonderful circle of friends from school! It is very comforting to know that you are surrounded by such loving support as you enter the world of a “working mother”! Please thank them all for me. Granny & Pop look great with their newest great-grandson! How perfect that you can spend time together on your road trips home!

Lindsey and Matthew you could not have settled in a more perfect place. Your school is a wonderful place that has definately made your family a part of their family.
I know that Granny and Pop were on cloud 9.
