We started off the next weekend on Friday with a fun breakfast playdate with Jonah's buddy Trenton. His mom, Leslie, & I have been friends since the boys were just a few months old, and it is so neat to watch them grown up together! Since I have been back to work, we don't get as many opportunities to spend time with the Beans, so it was a special treat to spend the morning together!
On Friday afternoon, we went to the annual Stark family BBQ. This was Jonah's first time in a big pool since last summer, and of course, he had a blast!
Saturday morning, Jonah & I left early, picked up my sister Melissa, and drove to Austin for a visit with my Uncle Mike, Uncle John, Grandma Bess, and Mom. My Uncle Mike has an amazing backyard and pool that Jonah enjoyed very much. He also loved feeding the Bichons and taking rides in my grandma's walker. We went and watched the fireworks in downtown Austin. This is where the trip took a little bit of a turn as my car overheated on the way back to my uncle's. We took it to a shop first thing Sunday and discovered it needed about $1K worth of repairs. YIKES! Melissa was so gracious and offered to stay in Austin until Monday when it would be finished and allowed Jonah & I to ride home with my mom. It was a loooong 6 hours in traffic home, but we made it! I do not think I will ever take a long road trip with Jonah again without a DVD player! My mom is a trooper. Jonah & I had a fun stay at home together on Monday, so all was not lost! Jonah is still talking about all his family in Austin, especially "Miiiiiiiike". He asks everyday "Where, Miiiiike"? I tell him he is in Austin, but we will visit again soon!
