It's been almost 2 weeks since we were in Nashville, Tennessee visiting my friend Esther and her family after 2 years of not seeing each other. But better late than never to get this post up:) I had to wait until we announced our pregnancy because there were some pictures from the zoo that Micah had his shirt on and I didn't want to give it away.
We had a great time, and she was able to meet Micah as well as I was able to meet her newest addition, Thomas. I also was thrilled to see Stewart and see how much he's changed after 2 years. What sweet boys she has! Stewart loved showing Micah the ropes and they loved chasing each other around the house. He was super kind with Micah and it was so fun to watch the two interact.
It was also great to catch up with Esther in person and enjoy a long weekend away. Micah had a bit of a challenge sleeping, especially the first night there, which made for a tired mom and dad, but I guess that is to be expected when traveling. Problem is that is carried over to the next day and Daniel and Esther were able to see our sweet boy in his not-so-sweet state of melting down when he doesn't get his way. Good thing they are good friends:)
Monday we decided to head out to the Nashville Zoo, sans Daniel since he had to work:( , and had a great day! The weather was absolutely beautiful and the kids had fun looking at all of the animals. Christian and I were really impressed with this zoo, albeit a little smaller than Brookfield, it seemed much more kept up and thought out throughout the exhibits. We were even able to find the perfect place to take some fall pictures (hence the pregnancy announcement picture) at the barn area of the zoo.

We flew back Monday evening, and of course were a bit worried about Micah on the flight, as he was definitely tired and it was past bedtime. Thankfully we were able to acquire a seat for Micah and he was the perfect little traveler. We seriously could not have asked for one more thing to go right on the plane, helping to put his temper tantrums into perspective:)
Thanks Claassen fam for letting us come and crash your place for a few days!
We loved it. So glad y'all could come and just enjoy a laid back weekend. Hope to see you again soon:)
