Father's Day

Today is Father's Day...Shad's first! We went to Nashville yesterday to use our Babies 'R Us gift card and our movie theater coupons that we've had since CHRISTMAS. We bought Christopher a new car seat...an Evenflo Titan Deluxe. Here's a picture of it:
















I think I'm going to wait until Christopher's sitting up on his own before installing it. Right now, I'm still able to use the infant carrier when we go shopping. I won't be able to do that once we switch, though. Hopefully, this seat will last us until he needs a booster when he's about 4 years old.

After shopping, we dropped Christopher off at his granddad's house. From there, we went to the movies to see X-Men 3 and then to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner. Let me just say that their food was DELICIOUS! I LOVED the grilled shrimp! We'll definitely have to go back there sometime!

I guess that was Shad's big Father's Day celebration since we're not doing anything out of the ordinary today. Went to church, came home for lunch and are now just relaxing for the rest of the day. We need to go grocery shopping, but I'll probably do that sometime this week.

Shad leaves on Friday to go on a mission trip to New Orleans. Our church has already been several times and has several more trips planned. First, they're helping to tear down some houses and then they're going to re-build. They're in the tear-down process right now. He'll be gone for 5 days, so won't be coming home until Tuesday, June 27. I'm NOT looking forward to that time AT ALL! I'm used to spending all day by myself but not 24/7! I'm going to be SO lonely! Plus, there are just some times when I need him to take Christopher so that I can have some ME time. I've asked my mom to come stay with me, but I don't think she will. Or if she does, it'll only be for a night or two.

Our friends are due to have their baby this Saturday, June 24. She said that her doctor told her that if she hasn't had it by her appointment this coming Wednesday, they're going to induce! They're having a girl...Lilly Jane. We've already pre-arranged for her and Christopher be married some day! LOL! Just kidding!

Okay, I've babbled enough. I'll update after tomorrow's doctor's appointment.
