MLK Weekend 2018 with Veretts

Our MLK weekend trip with the Verett crew was held in Austin, Texas this year. As always, a great time! We did the usual: sleep in, stay up late, eat delicious food, visit a lot, and laugh more! We ventured out one day for a movie to see The Greatest Showman, but otherwise, we took advantage of this great house! Lots of room, awesome kitchen, pool and hot tub (only Katerina and the boys jumped in that at night - it was chilly outside!); fire pit, sound system. We got to tell everyone we were 11 weeks pregnant and see Mary at around 30 weeks pregnant! Mom and GG came in to watch the 3 kiddos in College Station. And, while that was wonderful, I confused poor Everly. I was so excited to see her when I got back, since this was the first time I had been away from her that long and it was not a good reunion. I don't know if we confused her by trying to facetime while we were gone, but GG and Mom said while she was good, she was not her usual perky self. She just did her thing and didn't get upset, but didn't show much personality. So, when we got back, I expected her to be so happy to see me. But, she was not. She ONLY wanted Vic for the first couple of hours; she would not let me hold her; she cried and cried and pushed me away. It was awful. After a couple of hours, she let me back in. It's almost like she saved her feelings of being upset that I left for when I got back instead of when I actually left her 3 days before. So confusing and poor baby. Then, for the next few months at church when I would leave her in the nursery for MOPS or church, she would see me and immediately start crying when I picked her up. It was just interesting how she did things. But, other than that, it was a fabulous trip with the Veretts!

Until next year - where we will have two more babies along side us!
