We are back from a 4 day weekend with my family over near Gatlinburg, TN at Douglas Lake. We had a great time and got some good pictures along the way. Emma is a lot of fun and being around her makes me excited about Sam getting a little older. I had to work on Thursday until late so we didn’t leave Murfreesboro until around 9pm, which put us in Knoxville at about 2 in the morning, so we were pooped. Friday morning we got up and all of us headed down the road for about an hour or so to the cabin. We spent the rest of the time there either out on the lake or in the cabin relaxing and getting in some good talk time. Sam did great and it was good for him to get to spend some time with Nana and Papa. He also hasn’t had much time with my sister and her family so that was nice too.

Heather goes back to work in a couple of weeks so we’re trying hard to get Sam used to his schedule. It’s easier said than done. He was doing great there for a while about sleeping for 4 or 5 hours at night before waking up but we’ve gone back to 3 hours max. We’ve been pretty busy lately with going out of town and doing other stuff so it’s been a little complicated with sticking to a set schedule, but hopefully we will be able to solidify some stuff over the next 2 weeks. It’s not all going to be easy, but overall he is doing really great and we’ll get it worked out. He’s gotten past the point where he would sleep no matter what noise was going on around him, so we have to be more conscious of how loud we are when he is napping. He is also a smiling machine. It’s obvious that he recognizes Heather and I now and that just makes you feel good when you can walk into a room and make your baby smile.

This weekend Emily and John are coming up to visit us from Georgia, so we’re looking forward to that. Then next weekend I am going camping with the dudes and I think Heather and Sam are going to head down the Georgia to stay with Mimi. Heather isn’t sure how much she’ll like staying here at the new house by herself without my strapping male presence, and really who can blame her. Talk to you later!

Emma loved the boat and the water
