Thursday we drove to Matt's dad's house. Pat, Mariruth and Caitlin were there as well. We caught up with them after lunch. It was their first time meeting Robbie. Caitlin had fun playing with Robbie on his play mat as well as playing on it herself! We all went to Bonefish for dinner. Yum! Then Matt and I went to my parents house for the night.
Friday morning we got dressed up for a family photo shoot at Sears. Matt's mom wanted to get everyone together while Patrick, Mariruth and Caitlin were in town. Mimi and Gramps joined us as well. Our photographer was great with the kids! Of course, it's hard to get a great picture with 7 adults and 2 kids, but I think she did pretty good. The kids were getting restless at the end, but they gave us some good smiles. I'm very excited about our family picture.
After we took the pictures we walked around the mall for a little while so the photographers could get the pictures together. Pictures were ordered, a CD was made and we headed over to Chick-fil-a for lunch. Caitlin had fun in the playground after lunch and Robbie enjoyed being out of his car seat and held by family. We had to leave everyone because Matt had to pick up his groomsman outfit before the rehearsal. We left Robbie with my parents for the evening. They had my grandma over for dinner. It was only her 2nd time seeing him. The rehearsal went well and then we went to Sea Sea Riders for dinner. The restaurant had a special menu for dinner and everyone liked what they had. I had the Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Matt had the top sirloin. For dessert I got the chocolate tort, but I got to try a bite of Monett's peanut butter pie. Both were great! We left early to get home to Robbie.
Saturday was a nice, relaxing day. We didn't have anything planned, other than the wedding. Matt and I went shopping at Kohl's to use gift cards we got as Christmas gifts. I didn't find anything, but Matt got several new polo shirts. We also ran into Target to get insulating curtains for Robbie's room. Mom ordered Greek food for lunch and we picked it up on our way home. YUM! Robbie needed a bath because someone was too slow putting a diaper on him. Mom knew what Robbie had done when she heard me laughing at Matt. We just bathed him in my parent's sink. Mom said it looked like we were thawing a turkey!
Matt had to leave shortly after that excitement. Mom and I thought we could get Publix gift cards for donating blood, but we walked away with just t-shirts. I got ready for the wedding and mom helped get Robbie ready, but, of course, as soon as we were ready to leave Robbie decided to fill up his diaper! Luckily it all stayed in his diaper so we didn't have to do a full outfit change. We were late for the wedding, but it was so cold outside it was nice to just be inside for the reception. Robbie did great being passed around at the reception. Neither Matt nor I held him much. I left with Robbie around 8:15 so I could get him fed and ready for bed. Matt stayed so he could take his mom home and didn't get back to my parent's until after 10. Robbie must have partied hardy at the reception because he slept for a full 7 hours! I had to double check the clock when I finally did hear him. I hope it's something that he will continue to do!
Sunday we had breakfast at my parent's house before heading to Mimi and Gramps' for a short visit. Barbara and Uncle Mark were there as well. We left there to have lunch with Jim and Jean. After lunch it was time for Robbie's lunch so we changed plans and went back to their house so we didn't have to feed Robbie on the road. We left later than planned, but it was nice to see everyone one last time.

Of course, after any trip there's laundry to do. Luckily Robbie is there to help me fold it all:
Ok, he's not much help! :)

Love the last pic of Robbie. I'd be tired too after all you did last weekend. He handled it very well.
Whew!!
