He also got his shots and they totally tuckered him out. So much so, that he slept from 7:30pm-10:30 am with only one feeding at 5am. I awakened at 5 when my alarm went off with a, "Oh my gosh, is he alive? Joel? Did you get up with him last night?"
Sure enough he slept the whole night, which he has never even come close to doing! We are praying, seriously, that this isn't just a fluke or from the shots, but that he can sleep like that more often.
If you ask in faith with real intent, you will receive an answer, right?
Joel also entered a new DECADE and turned 30 on May 25th. I "surprised" him with a trip to Minneapolis for the weekend. I say "surprised" because a week before we left I sent him an email saying "Pack your bags 'cause we are leaving next Friday..." and well, he did some investigative work and found out where we were going. To make it worse, he got the mail and saw something addressed to me- which he a)never gets the mail and b) never opens anything with my name on it-from Minneapolis and HE OPENED IT!! The little brat opened his Twins tickets too! He is no fun! He cannot keep surprises to himself, nor wait for a surprise. BOO Joel, but I love you anyway. Good thing I had some other gifts up my sleeve for him that he had no idea about.
Anyway, we had a great time in Minneapolis with gorgeously(word??) perfect weather. In addition to the baseball game, we walked the Mississippi River front, went to the Como Zoo and Conservatory, mosied around a cute little farmers market, saw the new Twins ballpark, and went to Minehaha Park. It was a fabulous weekend, minus the car ride home where an exhausted Carson cried for 3 of the 5 hours and FINALLY fell asleep 20 minutes from home. He and car rides have yet to become friends...

To top off our weekend, Carson decided to poop and spit up on me within 5 minutes. We were enjoying Joel's birthday dinner and Carson was on my lap. All of the sudden I felt something slimy on my hands. You can gather what it was. I got up, changed him and cleaned him up and sat back down at the table. Not two seconds later, BLAAAHHH, all over me again! He always keeps things exciting around here!
