Trip to Tyler

We went to Tyler last weekend to spend time with Chad's parents since we won't be making it there for the holidays. Thursday night Chad got canceled at work, so we decided to leave in the evening, hoping that Ezra would just sleep the whole way. Well, he fell right asleep when we got on the road, slept for about 4 hours, and then was awake for the last 3. We got to Tyler at 2 AM and Ezra did NOT want to go to sleep. So Chad was up with him for most of the night, and I took over around 5:30. Then Ezra was up for good at 6:30. Lovely. Friday was my birthday so Chad and I got to go out to dinner while Gramme babysat. The rest of the weekend was spent with family and friends, and in between, Ezra fell and busted his face (Friday) and then had 102 fever (Saturday). After the poor kid had a couple days to return to normal, we jumped right back in the car and drove home. This was the 4th weekend in the past month and a half that we have been on the road, so we are VERY glad that we are staying home for Thanksgiving and not going out of town again until Christmas. Other than the rough start Ezra had, we had a great visit in Tyler and as always we wish we could have spent more time with everyone.

A couple videos...

Chad's mom has a little chihuahua named Max that Ezra really likes. He is actually pretty good with Max, probably because the dog can outrun him, but even when Ezra gets close enough, he doesn't pull his tail or anything like that. Max is very sweet with all the grandchildren and puts up with a lot from them.
