Our first trip to Rock Hill as a family of three.

We finally felt ready for a short road trip with the new baby this weekend and decided to go visit my parents for Father's Day. It's about a 3.5 hour trip, so it's doable for a weekend visit. Since Cyrus eats about every 2-3 hours, we had to stop in the middle for about 40 minutes to breastfeed him and change his diaper (I can't imagine how much we'd have to stop for a longer trip), but it went pretty smoothly otherwise. I tried to sleep a little in the back seat while Cyrus slept and Gabriel drove, but I found it difficult. You'd think getting so little sleep at night would've helped, but it didn't. Oh well. I've been getting more rest now that I'm home.
It's been a nice visit, and we've had lots of people to see and introduce Cyrus to, so we've been a bit busier than normal. We head back to Athens tonight so we can go to work tomorrow.
Happy Father's Day!

Unfortunately, my mom had a sore throat this weekend, so she hasn't touched or held Cyrus at all. That made her sad, but it made my dad extra happy to have him all to himself (not that her throat was sore.)

Lisa was in town this weekend too, so we went over to her parents house to visit. Irysse has known me since I was about 5 years old and here she's holding my baby.

For Father's Day morning, my dad cooked us all a big breakfast! That's not fair, but it's how it worked out, for some reason.

Yummy...Persian breakfast, our favorite! My dad opening his Father's Day presents while Gabriel and Cyrus looked on. Gabriel got some presents too, since he's officially able to celebrate Father's Day these days.

Just for fun, we put Cyrus on a quilt Mamaw (G's grandmother) made for my mom and took a bunch of pictures of him.
