Brandon, Parks and I had out first big day out on the town today. We did venture out last Friday to the pediatrician but this was a real outing to a store, lunch and around the town. Brandon and I decided this morning that we were ready to hit the world with the little one. So around lunch time we packed up Parks and ALL HIS THINGS. (Getting somewhere with a newborn takes a lot of stuff -- even to just run quick errands.) We headed out and went to Hobby Lobby. We put Parks in his car seat in the cart and shopped around for some picture frames and mirrors and things, checked out, loaded back up Parks in the car and were off. We then braved Zaxby's for lunch, and Parks just sat all cozy in his carseat with us in the booth and slept the whole time. Since everything had gone so well we decided to push the limits (we still aren't exactly sure how long he will sleep at a time and he had already been out close to an hour) and head to church to show him off at the staff meeting. We made it there and had time to introduce Parks to the staff and just as we were headed home he began to wake up. We had a great day and were so proud to have survived the day out on the town.
More to come soon.....
