Off to Nana and Papa's House

A week ago Saturday, I drove Maddox down to Iowa to drop him off with my parents for the week while I was in Florida with LEEP. I was very sad but it sounds like he had a very busy, but good, time with everyone down there!

I met them at a graduation party and had to share with everyone (darn people) that hadn't seen him in a while. When it came time to hand him over I shed a few tears and didn't want to let go. To be honest I thought it would be a lot harder to drive away but thankfully, I didn't have to worry. I knew my parents wouldn't let anything bad happen to him so that was a little bit of a relief. :)

While at my parents both JR and I were lucky enough to receive daily (sometimes multiple) video and picture messages. (Thanks Nana!) Those really did help me get through my days away from him.

Sounds like Maddox really made the rounds and hung out with lots of wonderful people so that was great to hear. He was quite the hit with his Great Grandma and Great Great Aunt when he stopped by to visit. I don't think he ever slowed down so maybe he didn't really notice we weren't around. (nah, he totally missed us, right?!?!?!)

When I got home Thursday night I couldn't wait to get my hands on Maddox. He looked SO big! Thankfully Justin picked him up early because I don't think we could have shared!! I am not sure who missed Maddox more, Justin or me!
