We took the opportunity to take one last trip to see family before baby girl is born. We headed to Tulsa on Thursday morning. Roman did amazing on every single car ride. Just give him a DVD player and snacks and you are good to go!
We had dinner with Matt's parents, Mark, Whitney, and the triplets at Charleston's on Thursday night. Roman was Obsessed with his big cousin Will! He had to sit by him the majority of the time!

After dinner, we headed back to Pa and Grandma's house for bath time with the triplets and a little dancing to "who who" with Will.
Friday morning we got up and drove 2-1/2 more hours to Springfield. The weather was great that afternoon, so we took a walk in the park with Meema.
Matt was on the phone with our Condo realtor. That's another blog post...
daddy is so silly!

Later Friday night Andy and Elizabeth brought the girls over for dinner and play time fun. Roman and Caroline loved getting in Captain's bed and pretending to go to sleep.

Saturday morning, my mom and I drove another hour south to Arkansas to see my Meema. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't know who we are. I kept saying her name and she would smile at me. It felt good to at least know that I made her smile for a brief moment. She's the only grandparent that I've ever had and it's really sad to think this could possibly be the last time I see her. It was one of the high-lites of my weekend to see Meema.

Later Saturday evening we celebrated Easter with a big dinner and Meema bought the kids little Easter baskets filled with goodies.
Roman loved his little cars
My friend Sarah brought her son, Carter, over to play with Roman for a little bit. They had a great time once they warmed up to each other!
They even gave each other cute hugs!
This was the only picture I could get of the four of us!
Easter Sunday started early with the 8 am service at my mom's church. We took Roman to the church nursery and he did amazing! I was so proud of him. I brought him to the end of the service to listen to the music and he was so excited! He kept looking over at Meema and smiling. It was so great!

Two peas in a pod!
We packed up immediately after church and headed to the lake to meet Matt's entire family. Roman was excited in the car! We missed the Easter egg hunt, but it's okay. We still got to spend some quality time with the family over Easter lunch.

Mass chaos with tons of kiddos = SO FUN!!
After a few hours at the lake, we headed back to Tulsa to stay one more night with Pa and Grandma. We had to break up the trips because being 31 weeks pregnant, my back was hurting so bad from riding in the car for too long. I'm so mad that I didn't get any more pictures in Tulsa with the family. We enjoyed dinner together at Charlestons again and then left Monday after breakfast.
Roman is so fortunate to have such loving families on both sides. We're so glad that we got to take one last trip to see everyone before sissy arrives.
