Mason and I had a GREAT time in Tennessee this last week! As noted in the previous post, traveling went great - thanks to strangers and the fact that he is SO good on the plane! You know everyone is silently muttering when they see you and see the baby when they board -- and it is always nice to have so many people happy to have sat by you when you land.
We spent lots of time with family and friends while we were home! Below are some pictures. I was telling Matt how my enjoyment at home has changed - how I love being there now because I LOVE seeing the family with Mason. He brings such joy to me and I love seeing him bring joy to others! Love overflows - it's an amazing feeling.
We also spent a lot of time just relaxing and enjoying the country! The weather was beautiful and we spent time outside just soaking it up. Mason got his first encounters with dogs, horses, and chickens. He was in love with Kadie, my Dad's horse. He was feeling her soft nose and let out a loud giggle! Taking after his Mom :)
Thursday we celebrated my Mom's birthday -- I made her a boston cream pie cake -- and let her revert back a few years! I mean, uh, she is 32! (and had me when she was...7....yikes). Love you Mom!
I was so excited - I got to go horseback riding twice! Thanks again for babysitting, Dad! Mom and I went riding with the trainer who has Kadie right now (Kadie is in 'college'. See her picture below). We were both on these big, white quarter horses... and Mom's decided he was ready to be home. Not too far from the barn (thank goodness), in a sandy spot (thank goodness), her horse laid down and rolled her off of him!! Luckily she got her foot out of the stirrup in time and didn't have any serious injuries - but wow! Who would have imagined?
Our trip went so well that we're already planning another... probably for the end of May! haha We are traveling fools.
And here is a picture of an old tobacco barn... because I like barns.
