January 18 - On the Road Again

Ahhh....more driving today on the way back to Nebraska. I think we could easily do this drive in our sleep by now, but, oh well. It was a fun weekend and well worth the trip! Alaina woke up around 7:15 this morning and wanted breakfast and then we went upstairs to see Grandpa and Aunt Ashely before they left for church. Lainey and Grandpa had another fun conversation of "Ooo's and Ahhh's" and then Grammy snatched her away for some cuddling! When Daddy got up we got everything loaded and headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Hutchinson's to see them before we left. We got on the road around 1:00 but stopped in Stuart to drop off maternity clothes for Laura! She had let me borrow her clothes when I was pregnant with Alaina and so I was returning them plus returning the favor! (Maternity clothes are so expensive! If you can share it is so worth it!!) Alaina had never met Eric, Laura or Owen so we went inside for a short visit. Owen is going to be a GREAT big brother! He tried to entertain Alaina, didn't want her to cry, and he even shared his blankies and a lot of his toys!! It was so sweet!! I sooooo wish I would have thought to take my camera in... :O( It was packed in the car and I didn't even think about it but, they are coming out to Omaha sometime here soon and I will have to take pictures then! After that we made the rest of the trip home and unpacked the car. By then Alaina was more then ready to eat and we were getting laundry started, dishes done, stuff set out for dinner, etc. Where did the evening go?? Sorry for the short post tonight, but, it is after 10:00. Alaina is ready for her bedtime snack and some sleepy time so I better go. My picture for the day today is Alaina very proud of herself for sitting in Grandpa's lazy boy this morning with her cowgirl boots on. Enjoy!!
