Saturday came quite quickly for the Oey family, especially since Xander decided we should all stay up most of the night. After breakfast at the hotel it was time to get ready for Xander’s special day having his picture taken at JC Penny.
After Tracy and I talked to Rachel, we decided that we would do a special picture for my parents, taking one of all three kids. That and the rest of the pictures turned out great. Xander was a little pro, laying there without crying while we put him through a variety of poses. My favorites are the simple ones on a black background. Now that I have had a chance to see their setup, I plan on purchasing much of what they use so that I can do the same for Xander and others that eventually come to me.
Haley was also great, working with both Xander and Carter to make the picture of the three of them a great one.
After the pictures it was a little hectic, it being President’s Day weekend in the cities and we were not able to really do what we wanted. That night Haley, Carter and I went swimming in the hotel pool, which was a welcome refresher.
I had a feeling Xander would do much of the same on Saturday night as he did on Friday, but Tracy and I made a change. Instead of having Haley out where we would feed him, we put her in the big bed (which she liked) and then whichever of us was up with him would be out in the other area.
It was another long night, but when we awoke that morning we were all excited to complete the next leg of our journey, heading to Tracy’s sister’s place near St. Cloud.
