Roller Coaster Week Part II

Saturday I wake up to a still broken phone. I had accidentally spilled a little water on it the night before, but had let it dry out with hope it would be working in the morning. But no. And it also wouldn't let me look at any of my contacts, so I was pretty lost. I ended up buying a new phone for my little voyage to see Roman's dad, because obviously I can't drive two hours away without a form of contact! Plus, I had no idea where he lived and needed to get directions.

I then went and bought a few snacks for the drive, and a few odds and ends baby stuff that I never got but were much needed, ie; gas drops. And I decided to buy a father's day card, and a congratulations baby card, along with a bouquet of daisy's with a pretty wrapping around the pot.

I didn't hit the road til 1:15. The drive was not too bad and I didn't get lost... too much. Ha. Listened to the new Maroon 5 album which I absolutely adore.

The last time Roman say Brandon was Christmas, and before that only a hand full of times that only lasted at most 2 hours. He never really warmed up to him and was mostly very shy. I was worried today would be the same, but hoped it wouldn't because it would prove to be an unpleasant visit.

As we park, Brandon meets us in the lot and opens the door, greeted to a big grin from Roman. That made me smile. At first he was a little hesitant but we bribed him with a stuffed toy monkey for a hug and a kiss to Brandon. We even went to Brandon's place of work to introduce the babies to his co-workers. Where Roman got really shy, of course. Instead of grabbing my hand and hiding behind my leg, he does it to Brandon! I was shocked, literally. I was standing the same distance from him but he chose Brandon. I was glad though.

Roman liked seeing his new half sister, but mostly just enjoyed peeking over the bassinet at her sleeping. He wasn't up for holding her. Maybe because she was so small.

I was very happy that it was not awkward between Taylor and I. It was not awkward in any instance. It actually turned into a pleasant experience.

I was going to add pictures, but chose against it seeing as I don't know if they want their pictures published on the internet.

At the end of the day when we were about to head home, Roman got his cup and climbed up the couch and onto Brandon's lap and chilled out. It was pretty sweet.

On the drive home, I listened to Owl City and felt a calm content happiness. I hope our relationship between Roman's dad and new family will always be this way. It is important to me for Roman's sake.
