When Lydia was 3 weeks old we drove down to Spfld so Matt could interview for a job he had applied to. It was also his spring break week so things worked out really well for us.
Some things never change. My parents put this Christmas tree out on their porch each year for Christmas. It rotates and flashes lights and is pretty. Each year it sits on their porch for months following Christmas. This was just before Easter. Last year it made it past the 4th of July.
With that being said though, each year a bird makes her nest in this Christmas tree. We get to watch the little eggs, then little chicks. It is really neat. Those little eggs were about the size of an a pencil eraser.
Grandma always makes an Easter egg tree. The kids love it!
Matt interviewed almost all day. It was beautiful outside so we enjoyed the sunshine.
I love that newborn fuzzy hair.
After Matts interview the head Ophthalmologist and a few other Administrators at Mercy treated Matt and me to dinner at Touch for an extended interview. It was super fancy and super delicious. They specialize in super fresh sea food, so I was in heaven. Dinner was over 3 hours long. It was really fun, but I sure missed my little Lydia. She did really well for Grandma, who loved snuggling her while we were gone. We're so grateful to have family close by. It would have been hard to leave Lydia with anyone else.

We had planned to leave early the next morning, but Lydia had hardly slept that nigh. When the older kids woke up Matt took them downstairs and told me to go back to sleep (because Lydia was finally sleeping.) When I woke up it was close to 11! Matt got a call from another administrator at Mercy asking if Matt was still in town, which he was, so asked him to come in for another chat.
That night Grandma ordered Jet's deep dish barbeque chicken! If you haven't had this slice of heaven you need to order it today! Right now! It's amazing!
We left the next morning and drove strait to the new Chick Fil A they were opening in St Louis. Matt made if just in time again to get the year's worth of free meals. We dropped him off and made our way home. Later that night we went back to take him a tent and change of clothes and bedding. He had a fun time with all of our friends who were there braving the rain with him.

This was when we dropped Matt off. They were so ready to be home. :)
