Little Ben has been a very good traveler since he has been born. He has spent six nights in a hotel during his six weeks of life and has spent alot of time in the car. He is always good when he is in his car seat and usally sleeps most of the time unless he is hungry or has diaper issues. Well...we went to South Dakota for our nephew's baptism this weekend and the trip there was fine. The trip home was the worst hours I've ever spent in a car. Justin had been traveling for work so we met in Fargo and had two vehicles. Ben was pretty fussy on the drive from South Dakota to Fargo. As soon as we were alone in my car between Fargo and Bismarck he took it to another level and howled and cried for about 80% of the drive. He slept for about half an hour but that was it. I stopped several times to try to feed and sooth him but it was no use...he didn't want to be in that seat. I felt really bad for him! He was in a frenzy. His back was sweaty and he had little tears in his eyes! I have never been so happy to pull into our driveway. Yesterday I refrained from taking him in the car just to give him some time off! He did go in his car seat to ride in the stroller since it was very lovely out yesterday. He thought it was just OK...
So...about the weekend...on Saturday before heading to S.D. we got a little tailgating fix to ease the wait until September comes again! It was the NDSU spring scrimmage which used to be a nonevent but since the National Championship turn of events is now a big deal. I guess it was even on TV. I went shopping after tailgating and Justing went to the game but said it was pretty boring. It was fun to be out in the parking lot again though! It was pretty windy so I felt kind of bad having the baby out there. At least our tents were set up.
Get used to this place, Ben! You will be spending many weekends here in a few months!
After the game we headed to South Dakota. Ben's cousin, Spencer, was born three weeks before he was and we met him for the first time.
I didn't get any pictures with just the two new buddies together but here is one with Spencer in it! It was his baptism weekend so he had lots of guests and I didn't get alot of opportunities to snap pictures of him.
It was also Spencer's brother's birthday. Jack turned two! It is hard to believe that he is that old already. That is a nice Lego cake...
Here is a family photo from Baptism day...
Justin and I were Spencer's sponsors.
Well, this post is over because there is a baby demanding my attention!
