Ohio overnight

This past weekend we traveled back to Ohio for a wedding. It was kind of last minute because Jeremy couldn't get off work, but he found someone to cover him on Sunday so we left on Saturday after rounds, and drove 5hrs straight through to Cincinnati for the wedding. It was a little stressful, and Owen only napped in the car for 45 minutes so by the time we got there he was A ZOMBIE. He looked cute enough though, and sat on our laps and sucked him thumb the entire night.  We didn't get any good pictures of him all dressed up, by the time we thought of it -- it was dark and he was way too tired to be happy for the camera.

Oh yea, THAT. Owen apparently sucks him thumb now. He's starting to wean, and as he drops feedings he has started sucking his thumb NON-STOP. We're hoping its a phase, but we'll see.

Saturday night we stayed with my best friend, Scott. He bought a house a few months ago and was so happy to have company. We arrived pretty late after the reception, and figured we'd let O stay up until he passed out (hoping to avoid the crying marathon) so there we were PARENTS OF THE YEAR eating pizza at 1am WITH OUR BABY.

But as soon as we started towards bed, THE CRYING. Again he cried until he passed out nursing. I was so delirious, I don't even know what time it was and I'm pretty sure Jeremy was passed out on the floor with a pillow over his head. Thankfully, the house was well insulated so Scott didn't hear a thing.

The next day we soaked in some of our favorite things in Ohio - Cracker Barrel, shopping for Buckeye's gear for our little family and then eating a ridiculous amount of Graeter's ice cream before heading back to Pittsburgh. 

It was a lot of driving for an overnight trip - but there is something about walking into a Wendy's and seeing a huge block "O" flag that will always make my heart smile.
