This past weekend, Sam and I spent time in Plains, TX with my family while David went and had some ”man” time at the ranch. Weekends like this remind me why we moved back to Lubbock (it certainly wasn’t the lovely weather or beautiful scenery). Sam was able to play with his cousins and ride scooters and bikes (with training wheels). He was even able to drive Grandad’s John Deere Gator around Plains for a bit. It was also a nice break for me. Grandma pretty much plays with Sam from sun up to sun down, which leaves the day open for me to read magazines, sleep, eat and just generally act like I am a teenager again. Grandad also spent lots of time at the house, and even helped with Sam’s bath one night- which is the ultimate act of service to a pregnant woman entering her last trimester! Sam gets spoiled rotten, and so do I! It is so wonderful to be so near my family, and David and I appreciate them so much.

Back on the home front, the weather has been super weird. Yesterday, it was 78 degrees, today, there was snow on the ground. However, it was a great day for staying in and snuggling on the couch with Sam- I am proud to say we were both in our PJs until noon!
