Well, a few weeks ago, the girls and I loaded up for 5 days full of fun, family and driving. We went on our first road trip together. Trey had training in Omaha and since it's our last year to not have a child in full time school, we decided to ditch preschool and hit the road to see family. We stayed a night with my dad in Ark City, then went onto Topeka for two nights, where we stayed with my Aunt Rhonda and Uncle David, however we went back and forth to Lawrence those days also to see Aunt Tracey, Uncle Chris and the cousins. Then, back to Ark City for a night before making the long haul back to Texas. All in all, that was 1,165 miles in five days. It was a lot of time in the car, but really....we adjusted to it. The girls were awesome and seeing family always is worth it once we make it there. It makes me miss not having them close. I just love my family....all of my family.
However, on the last night....before the big haul back to Texas, Reese and I got either some sort of bug or food poisoning. What it was made no matter, point being we were both sick and drove back home where Trey was so graciously waiting for me to arrive and to take over so I could crash and sleep off the illness. It was the longest drive I've ever made to Texas. I even tried to pull over to a McD's for lunch and smelled the fries and quickly realized the girls were going to have to live on cheerios and car snacks until we got home (I know I'm sick when I don't want FRIES....). It was so good to be home. But, we'll do it again because watching those cousins play together is priceless.

Landry and Libby. I want to take pictures of them together through the years since they're only 7 months apart. We shall call the first one, "The shoeless, drooling, leaning girls." I can't wait to see how they grow and change through the years. And....Libby told me that she already knows she wants to room with Landry at Texas A&M someday. I sure do love Libby.
Landry, Abby and Kee. Another side note....Abby wrote in her journal that she wanted to move to Texas and live with me and Uncle Trey. Since Chris and Tracey won't listen to me to move here, I'm now going after their children for support. I know they appreciate this, almost as much as when Trey and I gave Abby her first harmonica that she loved to play so loudly, indoors :).
Hailey and Connor. Perfect playmates.
And one more picture. We drove through lots of rain, but on the positive side, the girls got to see their first rainbow. And it was a full double rainbow. They thought that was so special.
