Trippin

We made the trip to Harrison--all four of us--for the weekend and it went well. Amelia got a new "tv for the car" (dvd player) from G and Pa and she watched it the whole way without a peep. Praise the Lord :) Elise slept the whole way. Double praise. It felt neat to all four go somewhere together. Amelia finally got to turn her carseat around to frontwards facing and she was so tickled. She kept saying she was driving, lol.



Brandy and Nathan drove up from Conway to see us at my parents' house. Bran is due in a month and she sure doesn't look it. I envy a tall, slender pregnant gal. Amelia made heart cookies for us to eat and she was quite proud of herself. Nate snuck downstairs to play ping pong with the boys most of the visit, so he escaped the camera. It was a great visit and I am so glad they took the time to come up. Brandy brought a huge valentine bag of goodies--totally spoiling my girls and I. Sweet :) Next time I see her Lily will be here!

The weekend was fun and I had missed being at home. Amelia and Ingrid were hilarious to watch. Amelia is thinking that Ingrid is so big now, compared to Elise, and she kept dancing around and trying to make her laugh. My favorite is when she pretends to be an adult and bend down and talk baby talk to Ingrid.

She has had moments of jealousy over Ingrid and Elise and has been hit with a double whammy of not being the only grandchild and great-grandchild all in one big swoop. I have to say that she is doing pretty well with it and I appreciate everyone's efforts to still make her feel like the stuff, all the while trying to quietly drip love and sugar over Elise. Meme did get punished with no hug from Amelia because she was holding Elise, but she said it was worth it.
Then, Sunday came and along with it, my post pregnancy breakdown of the century. I didn't get to go to church--which started the landslide. Unfortunately, I just couldn't get it together-- long after church was over, and so, it ended up with me coming home with Elise and Ross and Amelia staying with Mom and Dad. I will go Wednesday and rejoin the normal people of the world. For now, I am napping and napping and watching T.V. and reading to Elise and holding her, and napping, and you know...just re-grouping. I will fill you in on said breakdown in next post. You know, because I just can't hold back.
