Yesterday we made the trek out west to visit my in-laws. They had not gotten to meet Barrett yet so we finally decided it would be better for us to visit them than wait for them to visit us. At 6:30 yesterday morning my mother in law called to warn us that it was very windy out here, and by the looks of things, windy along our entire trip. The wind was annoying and we also ran into rain and a little snow. We stopped to eat lunch in Ogalala and at that point decided it would be better to get off the interstate (away from the semis) and instead take the highway the rest of the way. That really helped calm my nerves (and I wasn't even the one driving). Bodie and Barrett did alright on the drive out here. Barrett mostly slept, except when he ate. I tried feeding him at the restaurant while we had lunch but that turned out to be too frustrating for everyone involved so, after I quickly ate, we headed to the van so Barrett could get his lunch too. I think he was too hot under the cover up thing I had tried using and he was just very fussy.

Once we got here Bodie was being a bear and we tried getting him down for a nap. Thankfully Bodie is very well behaved for Curt and Curt was able to talk him into laying quietly in bed. I was a little nervous because he isn't used to being a such a big bed and the room he is in is upstairs, away from everyone. We put a gate in the doorway so he can't come out by himself. He did ok with his nap and when he went to bed last night but he heard Curt get up at 4:45 this morning to use the bathroom and got out of bed. I brought him into our bed, which ended up being a bad move. Curt finally took Bodie back to his room and laid down with him for a couple more hours. Hopefully tonight will go better (and Curt's bladder will cooperate).

My mother in law is already spoiling us with her great cooking. We had Chicken Noodle soup (with mashed potatoes?!) for dinner last night and a really good breakfast pizza this morning. I'm pretty sure I'm going to gain back the 10 pounds I've lost the past few months.
