A Busy Weekend

Friday we went up to Oregon so Josh could speak at a Relay for Life and we could watch Josh's brother, Aaron, play music. It was pretty hot! We got to meet a lot of people who are involved with cancer. Josh's speech was incredible. He encouraged so many people while making them cry. Josh really doesn't like to talk about cancer all that much. But, if he is able to help or encourage people then he loves to share his story. I often tell Josh that I wish I could have been there by his side while he was battling cancer, but then on the other hand I'm thankful I wasn't.  It's really a loaded statement. I know that I could better understand Josh if I was by his side, but I'm not sure if I could have handled to see him in so much pain. 

 

Josh Speaking

Josh, Paxton, and I walked a lap around with the rest of the cancer survivors and their families. It was awesome to meet people that were not willing to give up. Walking around the whole night made me very thankful for my Ergo!!

After Relay for Life, we went to the boat with Josh's parents. We took Paxton on his first boat ride. He hated, I mean HATED his life jacket. But, wouldn't you?? 

Groceries

It's not an unknown fact that a family has to go to the grocery store. In fact,
most people go without giving it much thought because it's such a normal routine. That was me. Yes, was. Now it's more than just a buzz in and out thing. I have Paxton! He's just as sweet as can be and of course be draws all the attention....especially from the touchy kind.

Today we ventured to the store.... Just Paxton and I. So I put Paxton in the moby and off we went.

Why the moby? I really dislike taking Paxton places in the carseat. The car seat gets hot, he's strapped in, and not close to me. The biggest reason? People will touch him! People I don't even know! The moby keeps him close to me and no one tries to touch him!

So we get almost done and he starts crying! I'm not going to lie... Panic set in. I did not want everyone looking at us, you know how people are. I also knew he was hungry!!

So I went on over to subway and fed him. Big deal? Yes! This was the first time I nursed Paxton in public. After he was fine we went on our way.

We finished up shopping and checked out.

It's definitely not as easy to just buzz into the store now. We're making our own routine and doing what we need to do. Things are just done differently now. More time is needed but it doesn't matter when I have this sweet baby looking at me.
