Weekend Away

HC and the gang, hanging out

We were away for the weekend visiting Nana Rose and Papa Gerry in Amherst.  It was a nice visit but too short.  The reason for the trip is unimportant, I will just say it had to do with guns and hunting and blahblahblah...

Quinn always likes to go there and stay in a big bed.  This bed also happens to be next to a window that faces the train station.  In other words, every time he hears a train whistle, he sits by that window and watches the train go by.  He stays as quiet as can be, and tells me about it the next morning.  It is times like this that make me smile.  I can get so caught up the everyday rush, and I need to chill out.  My Quinn is making lifelong memories of having fun at his grandparent's house, I hope he can keep these memories forever.

Now Charlie, she just will not sleep at her Nana and papa's house.  We have tried a few times, and she just screams for most of the night.  She stays in a pack 'n play in Shawn and my room, but she wakes up constantly screaming bloody murder.  It is so disheartening since she is a fantastic sleeper, and I am rethinking future visits and how long they should be, since we are wrecked by the time we leave!
