Charlottesville

So this past weekend I made a trip to Charlottesville to attend a wedding in Harrisburg. It was a long weekend but nice to see friends. We started our trip out by meeting a good friend of mine Sue Hockensmith for lunch at apple bees. Then we spent the remainder of the day at my in-laws. MacKenzie did not do good with sleeping on the trip. As the nights went it got better. The first night (Friday) she was up til 9:30 pm finally went to sleep and was up from 2-4. She wasn't in a bad mood she just wanted to play which was not on my list of things to do at the hour. I finally decided a car ride sounded nice. Although I had never done that before it seemed to work. She she finally feel asleep and was back up at 6:45 for the day. So she ended up with 5 hrs asleep for the night which put me at less than 4. Which was great since Saturday was suppose to be a very busy day. We started our day out at 8:30 am where we joined the Charlottesville pregnancy center walk for life. We walked about 2 miles and I got to visit with some friends from my church that I attended for over 10 years. MacKenzie did great considering the lack of sleep and the time was now 9 am and she had been up since 6:45. At the end of the walk she went with my sister-in-law and her family for the day while I attended the wedding. MacKenzie had a blast playing with her cousins while playing with baby chicks and two dogs. The night she was exhausted and went down around 6 o'clock and slept til 6:45. She woke up twice in the night once at 9:30 where I went for the car ride again and once at 2:30 am where I fed her and she went back to sleep. On Sunday we drove to Waynesboro (its about a 30 min drive) and helped a friend unpack then we drove to Lake Monticello (a hr drive from Waynesboro) to attend my nephews birthday party. After that I drove back to my in laws where they kept MacKenzie allowing me to go out with a long time and best friend Kathy Adcock. Sunday night MacKenzie slept from 9 til 6:45 again. She woke up twice I fed her each time and she went back down. When she is at home she doesn't eat at night time so I hate when I have to feed her on trips but that is the only thing that will settle her down back to sleeping. Monday she stayed with my mother-in-law again while I went to Waynesboro again to help a friend. Once I got back we hung out at the house, went to dinner with family and then headed home. It was a very busy trip but its always nice to go back and visit. I can definitely tell that MacKenzie was tired from the trip. She took a 3 hr nap this morning and is on her second one now. She also managed to try and pant her fingers this morning. I wish I would have gotten a picture. It could have been a dangerous thing but since it wasn't I feel I can laugh. She had fingernail polish all over both of her hands and all on her face unfortunately I was unable to get a picture. I have no idea how she managed to get the top off the bottle in the first place. I plan on putting pictures up of the trip sometime this week. Hopefully this week we can just relax.
