Tim and the mission team got back at about 4:15 yesterday. Gabe was very happy to see his daddy. I got pictures, but don't know what I did with the camera at the moment. So when I find it, I will post the pictures.
Yesterday was pretty crazy. Gabe woke up around 7:45 so I fed him his cereal and fruit, and put him back down and I had to wake him up to leave for church. He was very fidgety during church so after the singing, I took him to the nursery. I knew part of his problem was he was tired, but I also knew he'd be distracted in the nursery and would probably be fine. I told the nursery worker that he would probably start fussing a little after 11 because he was hungry, and she did tell me she gave him his bottle when I went to pick him up after the service. And then guess what she said. No spit up!! I was shocked but so proud of him. Of course that did not become the norm for the rest of the day. He actually did very well with not spitting up the rest of the afternoon until his next feeding. We went out to eat with Shelley and his family and a couple other people and I put Gabe in a high chair. He loved it! He liked being at the table and was so interested in everything that was on the table. I let him play with a menu until we ordered our food, and then one of the ladies that was with us let him play with her fanny pack, which kept him occupied for a really long time because you know how much he loves straps! :-) Lunch took FOREVER just because the service was slow, and he started to get pretty fussy because he was getting really tired. We left and he fell asleep on the way home, but didn't stay asleep once we got home. It was time for him to eat again anyway, and shortly after he ate it was time to go back to the church to meet Tim. So Gabriel was VERY sleepy by the time we got home that evening. So I bathed him, Tim fed him, and I put him to bed.
I'm glad our family is all together again, and we'll have time to relax together before school starts back up!
And don't forget to appreciate Chick-fil-A on Wednesday and eat there!! :-)
