pitter patter and paw prints: Weekend with David

In between David's 2 training sessions he got a weekend off. Lisa so generously gave me a plane ticket to go see him for my birthday present! (Thank you, LaLa!!)

We had a delay-filled trip on the way out there, but I was in no hurry because David wasn't going to be home yet anyway. However, by the time we got to the Fayetteville airport, I was DONE. Instead of taking a cab like originally planned, I decided to rent a car for the weekend. Wouldn't you know, Enterprise only had one car left. It was a Nissan Versa. Whatever, I was desperate and tired. I didn't want to go to the next counter or give it anymore thought. I wanted the keys and my luggage and I wanted to go home. It was so small, but luckily all of my luggage and the car seat fit with some maneuvering. I kept calling it the Vespa for some reason, which is a scooter, so really that was appropriate. Throughout the weekend, we learned quickly that you have to be careful in the Versa. People pulled out in front of us, cut us off, and bullied us on the road. It became a reoccurring joke that no one respects the "vespa."

David got home Friday night around 11:30. He was so tired, but he wanted to see Charlie so badly. He went upstairs and watched Charlie sleep for a little while. He couldn't believe how much he has changed and how big he has gotten. I really didn't think he had changed that much, but I see him everyday. Two months is a long time in baby's first year because so many dramatic changes happen so quickly. Saturday morning, David couldn't wait to get Charlie out of bed!

Charlie woke up early and was so excited to see David. They played nonstop and were inseparable all weekend!
