Absence makes the heart grow fonder

It was a LONG four days last week when Pete was out of town.  Brady had some of his worst nights' sleep ever, and I am convinced that it was because he was missing Pete.  Pete came home on Friday, and Brady began sleeping through the night again on Saturday and Sunday.  Pete left this afternoon for another four nights away, so we will see how this week goes.  I'm not opposed to wearing his aftershave, clothes, and a mask if necessary.

Despite the sleep deprivation, we had a fun week and weekend filled with visits with family!  On Wednesday Brady and I met Aunt Nancy Rae for a yummy lunch and a short walk in a historic district of a nearby city.  It was a lot of fun, even though the weather didn't exactly cooperate.

On Saturday, Dad, Lyla, and Daniel drove in for a visit.  We went to lunch and spent lots of quality time entertaining and being entertained by Brady.  He is quite the social butterfly and loves to perform for an audience.  Just don't tell him it's nap time!

Enjoying the view.
