Our Sunday

I'm feeling inspired! It's 10:36 PM and I'm so tired, but I've been feeling guilty for not writing in a journal about Landon, so I figured that if I blog maybe I can copy and paste and somehow make up for it? Oh, well...
So, Landon was blessed on Sunday. It was so fun! All my family came and Tyler's parents and grandparents. Also, Tyler's mission president flew in, with his family (the Kirks), for the big day! :) We couldn't be happier to be surrounded by so many loved ones! It was so weird though, I felt nervous. I'm not even sure what I was nervous about, all I had to do was just sit there and listen. I think I'm now starting to feel like a mom! WOW! On, that note... I have so much more appreciation for mothers, I've always loved my mom and grandma, but now I feel like I am starting to really be able to understand and appreciate them more! :)
Back to Sunday... after Sunday school and visiting with the Kirk's for a bit we headed over to my Uncle Kevin's home to visit with family. After Landon woke up he was not happy. We figured that he was over stimulated, since my family is super loud when we get together, but after a very long night Tyler and I knew that something must be wrong with our little guy. Low and behold he has an ear infection, and a cold! :( I felt so bad for him. He's doing a lot better now, thank goodness. I feel so guilty to admit this, but since he's been on Tylenol I have been sleeping FANTASTIC! He eats around 6/6:30 and goes to sleep until around 3am! :) Then goes back to bed until 7am! :) Oh, bliss... Sleep!! How I have missed it! So, now I ask myself... what am I doing up still??? Goodnight!
