life with the lindner's: Roadtrip to Delaware

Levi got to go on his first roadtrip! A few weeks ago we headed down to Delaware for the first time with little Levi. Kristin, Clay's and my sister in law, was having a surprise birthday party thrown for her and we decided it would be fun to join in. Also, with me not working and Clay working from home, we're not as limited to which days we can take off.

We left around 9:00PM Thursday evening because of course a snowstorm was scheduled to hit early Friday morning. This put us in around 2:30AM, but it actually worked rather well for Levi and me. Clay got the worst of it having to drive, but it made it easier on us for Levi to pretty much sleep the whole way down. I get anxious with all of Levi's "firsts" - like his first roadtrip and how its going to go, but I know we just have to pick up and do it..thats what I'm telling myself with our upcoming roadtrip to Illinois ;).

Overall, we had a great time visiting with family and introducing Levi to several friends! He held up pretty well all weekend being out of his normal surroundings. The surprise party was Friday night so we had Friday during the day to hang out around Patty and Stu's. Auntie Amanda was sweet enough to drive up to visit us and meet little Levi:

She and Brandon will be having a little boy of their own this July! I can't wait to meet Levi's little pal! I suppose I should also include that Levi decided he wanted to poop in the bathtub while Amanda was visiting. Her nurse instincts kicked right in while Clay and I were a bit grossed out.

Friday night we headed to the surprise party; we actually missed the surprise part but oh well (we're still learning how to balance Levi's needs with timed events). Levi got to meet a lot of new people including Dian! Here he is rocking his jeans and plaid for the party with her:

Saturday we stayed around the house. I'm sure Nana and Poppop were pleased with that :). Chase and Amber came over to meet Levi and visit for a while:

Chase and Levi had a stare down:

Sunday morning we headed to church and almost made it on time. Levi talked through some of the sermon and slept through the rest..but not before filling his diaper. We're just hoping the people behind us didn't hear him :). After church Daniel and Crissy came by and got to meet Levi too:

Somehow we didn't get a picture with Crissy! They will be welcoming a new little bundle of joy this July as well! Levi is going to have so many new friends!

The weekend wrapped up with family time and the cousins got to spend some time together. Addie seemed to like the idea of meeting Levi, but hopefully Levi will become more social in the future :).
