Where have we been?

We've been missing for a little while...I know. We made it home safe and soundly DURING the hurricane....yep I said during. We got a lot of wind and rain, but our trip home wasn't too bad. We only had a few days here in Hattiesburg before we left for Gulf Shores. We were so happy to that the hurricane had mercy on us and allowed us to go on our trip!! Thursday morning we kissed the little guy good bye, wished Nana and Pop luck and headed off with our friends Meredith and Cody. Our condo was awesome and the weather was beautiful! We spent most of our time just hanging out on the beach...which was wonderful because our last beach trip was moderated by a 2 year old. ha! Friday was spent all day at the beach and Saturday the guys went on a fishing trip. They had a blast and because of the hurricane, the fish were biting! Their trip was 4 hours and they never put down their poles. Needless to say we have some yummy Red Snapper and Red Fish to cook up this week. Meredith and I tried to get a little shopping done before they got back...it's amazing how much a person can buy even in a time crunch! ha! Then we napped and headed back to the beach. Sadly, we got a call Saturday evening that Peyton was running a fever. We knew he was in good hands so we waited until our original Sunday departure to head home. We're very lucky to have friends that understood our feeling of urgency to get home and we left by 9:00 a.m. It was sad to leave, but we had an AWESOME time. It's not often we get to spend an hour with our friends, let alone a whole 4 days! It was much needed. Peyton was still running a fever sunday so this morning I took him to the Dr. He has hand, foot and mouth disease!! Can I get a YUCK?!!! He has these little blisters all over his mouth and one on his hand. He's very contagious so we're pretty much just sticking around the house for the next few days. His fever seems to have gone away and his spirits are up...lets just hope these yucky blisters go away soon. Anyways, I'll leave you with a few pictures from our trip!
