Raymond's First Sewanee Party & Outing!

Last weekend was a very exciting time. On Friday Liz has us over for dinner in Chapel Hill and Raymond got to meet Liz, Chrissie and Graham as well as having a surprise visitor, Hayley! We almost bailed on the dinner party because we were so wiped out from Morgan's first week back teaching and we are SO GLAD that we did not. It was a blast and Raymond was a dream the whole time we were at Liz's house. However, as soon as he got into the car for our 30 minute drive home he started crying and did not stop until we were pulling into our driveway. It broke my heart and there was nothing I could do. Carol, our Aunt and Baby Nurse told me the next day that it is not uncommon for a baby to be in a happy zone when being exposed to a lot of new stimulus and then to respond by crying once the baby has been removed from the new situation. Very interesting.

On Sunday we followed up the dinner party by heading back to Chapel Hill to play outside. The weather has been so miserable and Sunday was suddenly a warm 66 degrees and sunny. Raymond has been out to eat and run some errands, but this was his first outdoor outing! We broke out the BOB and took it off road for a riveting game of disc golf with Graham, Chrissie and Liz. Lots of fun in the sunshine! Raymond, however, stayed shaded and asleep for the game.
