While Daddy's Away...

Peyton and Mama will play.

 Drew took a group from our church to the Domincan Republic a couple weeks ago. We were sad to see him go, but had big plans for the week! We kept busy with a trip to Roanoke.

We headed out Sunday Morning to my grandparents house to eat with the Farmer clan. Of course in the time we woke up to the time we got in the car we had a meltdown, Hiro got lose, and had a huge scare of another nature, but we made it in time for a delicious lunch! Peyton swam with the cousins in the hot tub, and then we played outside with Hiro and the corn hole sets. 

We stayed with my Dad and Dreama (Papaw and Grammy Dee) so we had a good time hanging around the house with them. Monday we saw Robin and Shayne, then had lunch with Ben at Red Robin. It was great catching up with all of them! Them we came back to the house and took a nap, and then had dinner with Grandma, Johnny, Suzanne, Luke, Papaw and Grammy. I left Peyton with the grandparents and spend some quality time with my Samshe. :) Chick Fil A and Kohl's with no babies was a wonderful was to spend the evening! 

Tuesday we had breakfast with Jess and her adorable boys Jude and Luke. They are about the same age apart as Peyton and Sadie will be! We took a nap and then went to Splash Valley with Momar, Luke, Macy and Chris. I was really proud of Peyton. He went down two different slides 'by himself'. I caught him at the bottom, and held his hand on one of them, but other than that he was on his own. Such a big boy!!

We met Papaw and Grammy for dinner at Mac & Bob's and then headed to Luke's soccer game. Luke is a beast on the field! Of course we had to spend some time on the playground! :)

 Wednesday morning we met Heather, Tristan, Morgan, and Charlotte at Mill Mountain Zoo. It was perfect weather and Peyton loved the animals - especially the birds! :) Sure do miss these Mama friends!

The zoo sure is exciting and wore. these. boys. out! Once Peyton woke up we played a little golf, road a horsey, and got Ben hugs!

We had dinner plans at Mason and Kylee's house where we partied with Salads, Pizza, and cupcakes! We spent a little time outside and Mason read Peyton a story before we had to head back home - to Mount Airy.

I was in a lot of pain that week, so Thursday morning I went to the doctor and found out I had a pinched nerve in my back. My mom came over Thursday afternoon and stayed through Saturday morning. We were way  more relaxed, Peyton caught up on sleep, his books, and enjoyed being home, and I spend it on a heating pad while my  mom cooked and did dishes. ;) YAY! 

We had a good week but boy was I ready at 1145 PM Saturday when Drew walked through that door!
