First Weekend in Memphis

Well we just got back from Jackson's first weekend in Memphis. It was a very busy but fun filled weekend. We got to see a lot of family that I haven't seen in over 10 years. We flew down on Friday afternoon into Nashville. Dad and David picked us up in Nashville and drove us to Memphis. Jackson did very well on the flight. He only fussed twice. Once cause he was wet and the other time cause he was hungry. He didn't cry for long so that was good cuase the plane was FULL. He slept the whole way from Nashville to Memphis. Once in Memphis we stopped by Joe and Cyndy's house where our family was. We ate some and let Jackson meet family then went home. After we got home Erin and Tony came over to see Jackson cause they were in town for Erin mom's wedding. They hung out for a while then they left and we went to bed. Saturday morning was the "family reunion". Basically 30 of my family members went to Cracker Barrell to Eat. It was good food just crazy having 30 people there. After that we took pictures outside of the restaurant then went to Granny's house to hang out some more. After that we went back home and mom and I went shopping for stuff for the night. Saturday night we had family and friends over to play cards and meet Jackson. Jackson did very well for as many times as he was passed around. After everyone left Jackson was so sore and exhausted that he couldn't sleep. Everyone was asleep but me and Jackson. he finally went to sleep around 1am. Then Sunday we got up at 6 to get ready for church. We actually made it to early service then went out to eat. After lunch we went back to the house and packed. Once we were packed we headed to Nashville to fly back home. Our flight left at 750pm and got in at 920pm. We picked up Zack from a friends house and came home. We got home around 1045pm. Justin and Zack went to bed. Jackson appeared that he would be awake for a while but I fed him and he went to sleep around 1130. He slept till 630 this morning. Today we were all exhausted. Justin had to go to work but me, Zack, and Jackson slept most of the day. I ended up having to give Jackson tylenol cuase he would start crying when I picked him up under the arms. His ribs are sore from being picked up so much. So he laid in the swing or chair all day. So it was a wonderful weekend but we are tired. We will be going back to Memphis soon but we will be resting until then. Hopefully that is!! Hope everyone had a great weekend.
