Visiting the In-Laws

We had an uneventful drive to Omaha last night. We left a little later than anticipated, but that was ok, because I did not feel rushed and I was able to get everything done that I wanted to before we left. Aaron drove and I sat in back with Eli. I am so ready for a bigger car now. I feel like we really have to squish in the Camry! Also, now with a bigger belly I feel even more clausterphobic. We made one stop in Rockport at the McD's. I ran into Carla, a PT I used to work with at the Burn Center, so random.
Eli fell asleep the last 45 minutes of the drive, so when we arrived at Brian's, around 8pm, he was sleepy and clingy. That was ok, because I was wanting to cuddle with him. When his cousin John got here, he immediately ran up to him and started playing with him. He warmed up to everyone else and was running around in no time. He and John really play well together.
We got him ready for bed. We read a few books and he said good night to everyone and Aaron took him up for bed. I went up to check on them and Aaron was fast asleep and Eli was standing in hi Pack 'n Play smiling and wanting me to get him out, that was already close to 10pm! When I left the room he started crying, so I went back in and laid down until he fell asleep. We tried to watch a movie, but the DVD was giving us a hard time, so I ended up going to bed around 1030 or so.
Eli still woke up around 7AM, he played in bed with us for a little while, then Aaron took him downstairs to play, while I laid in bed awake for another hour or so.
Later on in the morning after breakfast, Eli, Aaron, and John played in the snow. Aaron pulled Eli in the sled and he was screaming with delight! I'll post some pics later. It was fun to watch them. It is freezing here! Eli loves to eat the snow. I got a good picture of Eli sitting on top of John and they are eating snow together.
Today we're having family pictures taken today at Aaron's parent's house. Their cousin Cory is a photographer. I hope we get some good ones. Then we'll be having dinner over there and going to Cory's brother's graduation party. Nana Bernie will be babysitting tonight so we can go to the party.
Everyone is taking a nap right now. I should too, but I just drank a coke. We're watching "Return of the Jedi".
Well, more later! Enjoy your Saturday! I'm bummed we can't watch the KU game, but last I checked, we're winning!
