To The River

While John and John Grayson were in Naperville meeting Cousin Jacob, Delia and I went to the river with Oli, Courtney and their families. Oli's family owns a river house on the Rappahannock River and she was kind enough to invite us down for the weekend. Delia and I packed up on Saturday morning and headed out not too long after the boys left for the airport. Luckily Delia slept for most of the car ride (only 1.5 hours) and was her happy self when we arrived. She had fun playing with her new friends Elsa (Oli's daughter) and Will (Courtney's son). This is the first time they've seen each other since they've become interactive little people. The kids didn't play together but did share some toys. Oli, Courtney and I were laughing at how crazy our Girls' weekends are going to be in the future when all of the kids are running around!

Not surprisingly, Delia was not a good sleeper on Saturday night. I think it was a combination of being in a new room and having to share it with me (this was the first time I've shared a room with her since the first night home from the hospital!). Delia spent almost 2 hours after I wanted to go to bed trying to "talk" to me from the Pack n Play. She slept 1-5am in her bed, 5-6am on my chest and then back in her bed but with a lot of toys 6:30-8am. Needless to say, I was ready to sleep in my bed on Sunday night :-)

It was so wonderful to see my friends and their beautiful children. I hope this is the first of many weekends together! Hopefully next time the boys can come too and everybody will sleep better!
