On Friday, we decided to take a big field trip...we were pretty house-bound and were ready to bust out of Rock Hill. Also, our friend Mike is a photographer and has a studio near Greenville, SC. And finally, and most importantly, Shepard needed to meet his Papa Jones, who has been in the hospital since before he was born. So--we planned ahead and made a day of it.
I was shocked by the sheer amount of STUFF we had to think about taking! But, we seemed to get everything we needed, and Shepard traveled like a pro. We won't make a habit of dragging a newborn all over creation, but there were extenuating circumstances.
Here's a teaser from Shepard's photo shoot. He wasn't 100% on board with the whole picture-taking thing. As a matter of fact, we got very few shots overall. I guess taking off all his clothes and putting him down on various surfaces just wasn't his idea of fun. His idea of fun seems to be tinkling on Daddy at any given moment!
So, we'll try again sometime. We'd at least like to get a picture of the three of us, and I want to get some of his sweet feet. ;) He seemed most inclined to liking this fluffy white rug.
Papa Jones was in a physical rehab facility on Friday, so we were able to stop by. (He has since re-entered the hospital, so please pray that he gets better!)
Here are three generations of Jones boys.
Grandma Jones was thrilled to be able to hang out with Shepard again, and even got to feed him.
We topped it all off with a trip to Anita's Mexican Restaurant, and that all made for a VERY long but good day. We were happy to follow it up with a lazy Saturday around the house. Well, I was happy to...Jerod gets antsy and wants to have projects and errands. Bless his heart. It's too hot to do much of anything except soak in our air-conditioning. I have been watching enough home design shows to have earned a certificate in home design shows. Never thought I could overdose on those, but it's happened. So, I hit the computer and designed Shepard's birth announcement...coming soon to a home near YOU!
