A Week Away

Last week Isabella and I traveled to see my long time friend, Meredith. It was wonderful to get to see her! We had some late nights of chatting, what gal doesn't like to do that!? :) She showed us around her beautiful town, our kids played, we went for walks, it was an awesome time! And look at these two boys of hers, aren't they the cutest?! And she's expecting #3 in October, who is bound to be just as cute!

Isabella took a liking to her (who wouldn't!).
AND . . . not only did I get to see Meredith, but I got to see my ENTIRE family that week. We stopped at my brother's the first day, and stayed overnight, so we didn't have to do all the driving in one day. I don't have any pictures from then, but Isabella had a blast playing with her cousins, and my grandma even came over for supper. Then, on our way home from Meredith's, we stopped at my parents for the night. My niece was staying there, since my sister was not doing well in her last stage of pregnancy. Those girls LOVE each other, they pretty much disappear to another room, and go play together. I love eavesdropping on their conversations. . . so cute! The next day I brought Rachel back to my sister's and stayed there for the day, before heading home that evening. I drove 16 + hours last week, just Isabella and I, and she did great in the car! As usual, she didn't sleep much in the car, sigh, but I can handle that as long as she is happy. She pretty much listened to music the entire time.

She loved Rachel's new cat, Butterscotch. She calls him, "Scott".
