Last night we got home from Utah. We figured since it was Drew's last Spring break we would fly "home" and spend some time with family. We left Thursday March 6 and got home at 11:30pm on the 16. Too short if you ask me. We left Lexington just in time, missing the big storm by just hours and landing in Utah which was experiencing beautiful Spring weather. After we got home I looked at my pictures and realized that I didn't get any pictures of Mac with the family. Stupid! I'm so mad at myself. He was so good with everyone too. He wrestled with my brothers whenever they were around and gave kisses to everyone and I didn't get any pictures of it. He also loved guitar hero. He would carry around the guitar until someone would play it. Really he did so great, he slept good and didn't need anytime to adjust. He's having a rough time today without all the attention.
While we were there Mac threw some funny fits. My dad went out and bought Mac some toys. One of the things he got was a three wheeler. What little boy doesn't like his own trike? Mac. He didn't want anyone to help him but he kept running over his foot when he tried to do it himself. Every time one of these happened he would stand up and scream, shirtless I might add. Scotty and Drew thought it would be a good idea to lift Mac's legs up and push him fast. Well, he screamed the whole time. It was hilarious. I'm sure the neighbors were getting annoyed. (this story really is only funny for the people who were there).
One morning at the Millar's we spent outside chasing Mac while he chased after Conrad (Maggie's dog).

We made it just in time for the new baseball season. We were lucky enough to be able to go to 3 of David's (my youngest brother)games. All of which they won. Mac spent most of the time wandering around looking for dogs and his ball, his two obsessions. Luckily I had my dad and Scotty to chase after him while I enjoyed the games. Thanks.
Grandpa and Scotty trying to teach Mac how to use sidewalk chalk. Mac found eating the chalk more fun than drawing.
As most of you know, Jed (Drew's brother) is a fireman so we thought we should go get some pictures at the station, I am sure Mac will have less fun taking pictures at Drew's office.Mac in Jed's bootsMac and Jed playing in the ambulanceLittle Lucy (my only niece) got blessed while we were home. Isn't she perfect?
Mac loved playing in the pop-up tent at my parents. He entertained us by smashing his face against the netting. Scary I know.
He can't hide his excitement. Still loves Nat's cell phone!
What do you do when you have a three hour layover at the Chicago airport? Go hangout at the Children on the Fly museum of course. I love this little museum. It's a little play area that has a airplane, with control panels, a slide and a cargo hatch. It also has a helicopter and other cargo boxes that kids can climb through. It entertained Mac for a good hour and half. It's a life saver if you ask me.
While I was home I got to go to Lunch with my old roommates from college. I haven't seen Tara, Jen, or Michelle for over two years. It was great to catch up. We just missed Liz and Nichole and our honorary roommates Karrisssa and Mj. Maybe next time.So the trip was wonderful. Everything was perfect which can be a bad thing. It was hard to leave but after a good cry at the airport I was ready to go home. Now I'm just getting use to doing things for myself again. I spent the morning cleaning, playing with Mac and cooking, 3 things I really haven't done the past two weeks. We were really spoiled. I can't wait to see my family in three weeks and Drew's parents for graduation. We love you guys and thanks again for the wonderful visit!
