Weekend in Austin

We spent last weekend in Austin visiting Carrie, Chris, and Otis. Auntie Carrie and Uncle Chris always spoil Nathan when he visits. The pantry was stocked with fruit snacks, the candy bowls filled with Hershey Kisses, and there were two packages of juice boxes in the fridge. Nathan quickly learned not to ask Wayne and I for a treat...he just went straight to Auntie Carrie who never refused him. Needless to say, he was out of juice boxes by Saturday afternoon!



Chris and Wayne are huge Arkansas fans, so when Nathan found this helmet, they were so proud that he wanted to wear it!

On Saturday, Carrie and I took Nathan out to lunch, to get a haircut, and to the toy store, while the guys relaxed. When we got home, Nathan was ready to ride his bike outside and take Otis for a walk.




Auntie Carrie always has a present for Nathan whenever she sees him. She bought him a Buzz Lightyear umbrella which was a big hit!





Since it wasn't raining, Carrie and Nathan took turns throwing acorns on each other and pretending it was rain :)


Here is Nathan giving Baby Sister a hug!

Nathan never took a nap Saturday afternoon, although he almost fell asleep in the grocery cart when we did a little grocery shopping. But he would not let himself fall asleep...I think he was scared he'd miss out on something fun! On Saturday night, we all went out to eat to a great Sushi restaurant. We stocked the diaper bag with paper, pens, crayons, and anything else to keep Nathan happy and occupied. Well, it turned out we didn't need any of it. Nathan fell asleep in the car as soon as we left the house and slept the WHOLE dinner away! We sat in a booth and just laid Nathan down on the cushion in between Carrie and I. I have to say, it was kind of nice to be able to get out of the house and enjoy a nice dinner without having to worry about Nathan! The downside is that he woke up when we left the restaurant and had a 2nd wind. We ended up letting him stay up late with us and had a great last night together!
