We're Back - Sort of

We got back on Sunday from our trip to Texas to see Jonny and his parents. I still feel slightly out of it - dazed and confused from traveling with two children by myself - something I swore I would never do again! And now I re-swear never to do it again! It was so amazing to spend two weeks with Jonny and just be able to relax and enjoy having our family together. I felt so content, regardless of what we were doing, as long as we were together. I even sat through an entire football game, so happy I was to sit by him and hold his hand!

These are some of my favorite pictures from the trip. This was right after we met up with Jonny at the Phoenix airport and opened our little envelope from the ultrasonographer telling us the sex of our baby. I kept trying to talk to Jonny but Emma was not having any of that. She wanted his complete attention (I guess we all did)and I finally told him I would just wait and talk to him later. I sat back and watched the kids climb all over him and play with him and it did my heart good.

We miss you guys. These are really cute pictures. I think it took me at least a week to get back into the swing of things. And hopefully if another great family vacation opportunity arises you will rise to the occasion like you do and go again. Just give it some time to forget the bad stuff.

Awww, what wonderful pictures. How much longer? When he's all done you should book a room at the Anniversary Inn. Just the two of you, it'll be so great. And then you can blog about it. LOL

So cute, I'm glad you got to spend some time together. Traveling with two kids and pregnant is no fun, you're a brave girl!

Did it go by as quickly for you as it did for me? These pictures are darling! And of course I'm sure you enjoyed a little warmer weather! Congrats on the next little girl... I was still crossing my fingers for twins! Oh well!

Yay! I'm so glad your family got to spend some time together and I can relate to your late-night blogging episodes. I'm having one right now because something made me mad and I can't go to sleep. Glad to hear you're doing okay. So much going on with you. Is the pregnancy going well? Your random thoughts made me laugh.

Thank you to your family for the sacrifice you make so that your husband can serve our Country. You are awesome! :-)
