Since Max has been born, we have had no time to do anything with Derek working a lot and every Saturday and with the flu hitting our house. So we had a free weekend before I went back to work so we decided to go to Knoxville for the weekend to visit Derek's family. So we left Friday night and about the time we hit Sweetwater we hear " Tornado Warning for Sweetwater, Lenoir City and Knoxville." Me in a panic starts crying thinking about what I am going to do with a 16 month old and a newborn if I see a tornado and I am on the road. Thankfully, we made it to James and Kristie's before it got too bad. Mason thought he hit the jackpot when we got there with 2 boys and all their toys to play with. I have never seen him play that hard. So Saturday morning, we ate at Cracker Barrell and headed to Maynardville to see the Bates and Listers. Mason also played hard here and ate more food than I have ever seen him eat. Max just enjoyed being held and fought over! Sunday we saw Perry and his parents and came on home. We had so much fun and we were so glad that we had a weekend to go visit since we won't have a chance to go back until Christmas. Here are some pictures from the weekend!
