We had both sets of grandparents in town this past weekend, plus Grant's sister-in-law and niece and nephew, for my graduation. Noah did great with all of the people. He happily allowed himself to be passed around and he smiled for everyone. Admittedly, I was worried before everyone arrived because he had been showing some signs of stranger anxiety. But, in any case, he barely cried the entire weekend. Except, of course, when it came for sleeping, which he cried a lot. Sleeping schedule is off again, but that is to be expected.
Having a lot of family around made me realize how sad I am that we live far away from everyone. I would like it if Noah could grow up in closer vicinity to his grandparents and aunts and uncles. I have been looking for jobs nationwide, but I am starting to hesitate more about the East Coast ones. When I don't see my family for a while, it is easier to think about moving even further away. However, after I get to see them and see how much they love Noah, I feel sad about living too far away. Now that everyone is gone, it feels lonely.

ReplyDeleteMadison is a nice place. I hear some good, fun people with two babies live in Madison.
ReplyDeleteOur girlies had to learn from a very young age how to be passed around...once or twice a week we do church stuff and they get handed around. The only thing that I don't like about it is how a really big day affects sleep. It takes about an hour and there's lots of tears. But - all those smiles from the previous day makes it worth it. :)
