We Have a Nephew!

Jason's brother and our sister in law had a baby boy, Parker Stephen on December 7. We were able to go visit and meet the little cutie a couple weeks ago. The drive to Des Moine is about 9 1/2 hours without stops so I was pretty nervous about the drive there and back with a little boy who hasn't been doing well on trips to Target or the grocery store! But Lucas did great BOTH ways and it was so fun seeing our sweet nephew! I'm so happy Lucas will have a boy cousin to play with and less than a year apart! They will surely get into cousin trouble and fun as they grow up together!

On our way just a few hours in...this boy is such a good traveler!

And so is this guy!!

This boy wouldn't nap while there in a new place with all the noises down below...doesn't want to miss anything.  So Jason and I took turns holding him for his morning naps.  He slept like a rock in our arms and it was the best couple hours of my life.  He has never been a cuddler...always on the move. It was so precious!

Grandma and Grandpa Snowden came to visit too!

Cousins <3

We headed out a little early on Sunday to break up the drive.  Lucas loved the mirror at the hotel!

Only 6 hours left of the drive! (yes he wore this again...there were 3 diaper AND outfit changes in just 3 hours in!)

Lucas wanted to help unpack when we got home by unpacking his snacks. ;-)
