This weekend was a blur. I'm glad I have a blog because it helps me remember what we did. We drove up to Bham Thursday afternoon. Finley slept about 2 hours, was awake and happy for about 1 hour, fussed for about 30 minutes and then cried for about 30 minutes. Friday morning we met with Johanna to do Finley's 6 month pics. They are going to be amazing and I CANNOT WAIT to see them!!! Then we went home, changed, ate, and Finley took a long, much needed nap. When she woke up we went over to see Grammie and Papa (Joey's parents) and Uncle Curt, Aunt Laura, Anna Grace and Drew and Joey's grandparents. Finley was well-entertained for a few hours!! Finley's cousin Anna Grace is so good with her and I can't wait until Finley is old enough to really appreciate having her around. We took a walk and had dinner and just "visited". The next morning, Joey played golf with his dad and Finley, Cici, Aunt Catherine and I went shopping and had lunch at Jim n Nick's. I really miss my fav places to eat because we don't have any of them in Mobile :( We also don't have a Home Goods which should be a crime!! That afternoon we went over to Natalie and Jay's. Daddy and Jackie were in town and of course wanted to get their hands on Finley. (Maybe they wanted to see us too ;) Finley played with Max and Henry and Catherine and I helped Natalie clean out her closet, which sadly is one of my favorites things to do. The girl had clothes from when she was in high school! Now that I think about it, it would have been fun to do a fashion show and take pictures a la 27 Dresses. We went back to my mom's and watched the Auburn game and laughed at Finley while she laughed hysterically at Zack as he ran back and forth in front of her. I will post a video. Sunday was Finley's Baptism. Joey called me Bapzilla. I guess I was a little stressed, but I felt like there was a lot to do and in order for it to get done I had to bark orders at people. Anyway, the Baptism was great. Pastor Tom at Mountain Chapel is so sweet and it was a really special day. We promised to raise Finley in a Christian home and guide her in life according to His word and we will do so. Unfortunately, Finley cried the whole time. I know it doesn't matter, but I hate that her pictures have her crying. I actually said the words I always heard parents say and thought, "Yea, right". I said, "She never does this!" Oh well, so we got done and ran to the car in the rain. So many family came to celebrate with us! We all went back to my mom's for cake and coffee. It was so good to see everyone! I know I keep harping on this, but we are so ready to come back home!!! I'm hoping if enough people think about it and pray about it we can will it into happening. After the last guest left, we packed up and headed back to Mobile. Now, we are recovering. I feel like my to do list is a mile long! Better go get to it!
