Memorial Day Weekend

Unlike most other cost-conscience families this weekend, we hit the highway to visit family in Indiana. While we cringed at the cost of gas, we didn't want to pass up the chance to spend a long weekend with our family. So, off we went! Evelyn traveled like a pro. We arrived to Grandma Donna's Friday evening in time for dinner. The next morning, we headed up to Grandma Jill's house to visit with her and the Grandfather. Evelyn LOVED playing with the bubbles and swinging in the swing with Grandma Jill while Daddy helped Uncle Donnie dig some post holes for Grandma's grapevine. Later in the afternoon, we headed out for Evelyn's first official studio pictures (I know, I am a bad Mommy, but timing has not been on my side). She did great! Never once fussed, but wouldn't sit still for very long. They turned out great and I will post them later (once I figure out how to download them onto my computer). On Sunday, we headed back to Grandma Donna's and then on home this morning. Again, Evelyn traveled like a pro. She slept, played and read books, ate some Goldfish, and slept again. Sometimes, we think our job as parents is a little too easy with her--but we are NOT complaining!
