We've had a busy weekend - we headed north for the weekend. When I say north, I'm talking about north Florida & south Alabama, nothing
crazy y'all.
I was delightfully surprised with Caroline's first trip. She was wonderful! She slept almost the entire car ride. We stopped twice to feed her and change her and those were the only times she woke up. What did we learn? Mommy is free to travel because baby doesn't mind! #yayus
Another wonderful surprise? My prayers were answered and bright and early on our first morning in town, Caroline & I headed to Mississippi to visit & meet Uncle Matt! Words could not explain how thankful I was that everything worked out. I'm so glad they were able to meet and spend a little time together before he flew out for his next orders. #militarylife My heart is smiling about their connection. He was so good with her.
Before this trip Caroline knew very few people, she knew her parents and she knew her grandparents... now our little baby knows 60+ people! Haha, that little girl is so loved. It's so wonderful. She met her Aunts, her Uncle, some of her Great Grandparents, her 2nd cousins, some of her Great Aunts & Great Uncles, even some of her Great Great Aunts. It was so wonderful to see everyone gather for our sweet Caroline.
She was passed around and cooed at and loved on all weekend. I can't even count how many pictures were taken of her of the 4 day span. She got to go to her cousin Karleigh's 2nd birthday party while we were in Niceville and she had a photo shoot while we were in Brewton. We stayed busy :)
She's going to grow up around such wonderful people and she will learn so much from them. We're blessed to know such great people and call them family & friends.
The trips always seem to never be long enough. There is so much to cram into such a short amount of time, so much to catch up on. I think we're all ready to move a little closer so the distant isn't so great. (Next year will be here before we know it!)
I really enjoyed seeing everyone! It was so nice to see some of my friends while I was there. & this mommy even got out for a couple hours one of the nights (I was nervous but Caroline was in good hands-
not to say that I didn't check in on her half way through my outing #couldnthelpit)
Currently I'm working on getting back in the swing of things. Starting back our routine at home. It's been a little difficult these last few days, between doctor's appointments and then Caroline & I catching a cold it's probably going to take another day or two. Luckily, the cold hasn't affected her too much, you can hear the congestion but she is still being her playful self and still eating so she's doing ok. We'll kick it soon :)
