Grunt Burp Scratch

The weekend was coming to an end. Even though Paxton and his daddy were having a blast with their guys only weekend, they were very happy that mommy was coming home today.

Susanne and her sister, Kerry, were driving back from Asheville today. They had a wonderful time at Victoria's bachelorette party. They couldn't believe that their youngest sister was getting married in just a couple of months. They were so excited for her. The drive back home was much better than the drive down because Susanne had a co-pilot. The girls spent the entire time talking and catching up. It was amazing that they never ran out of things to chat about. It was so great to have the opportunity to reconnect after not seeing each other for a while. Even though they spent a lot of time keeping in touch over the phone, it made a huge difference to actually see each other in person.

Later in the day, Susanne and Kerry arrived home safely. They decided to bring Scott something yummy for dinner. He was so happy to see them both. After they kissed on Paxton, they ate their delicious dinner. Scott was excited to be able to catch up with Kerry.

After dinner, they were all waiting for Paxton to wake up so that Kerry could hold him before he went down for the night. She had only met him one time before, which was over the Fourth of July weekend. She had limited time to spend with him back then because there was so much going on. She was looking forward to devoting the week with him.

Once Paxton was up, Kerry got to hold him. It was obvious by the look on her face that Paxton had her under his spell. It was clear that she was in love.

Unfortunately, Paxton's NG tube had become loose and needed to be replaced. Aunt Kerry decided to be brave and witness the ordeal. It was always hard for Scott and Susanne to hear Paxton cry whenever his tube needed to be changed, but they had become somewhat used to it. This was the first time, however, that Aunt Kerry had to hear that heartbreaking sound and watch him fight them throughout the whole process. She was visibly affected by this and became a little emotional. It was clear that she cared about her new nephew very much. After all was said and done, Aunt Kerry got to comfort Paxton by holding him and loving on him. He really seemed to respond well to her. She made it all better.

Paxton was so lucky to have such an amazing family!
