Family Withdrawl.

10 reasons why spending 22 hours in the car with 3 itty bitties is worth it...

1. Getting to spend time with Kirby! What a joy of a boy he is. Christian misses his little running mate.

2. Visiting Uncle Keith and Auntie Mary. Thanks for having us.
3. Driving a few more hours to see my parents and siblings.
4. Holding a dream in my arms!

(Trust me when I say that holding a newborn doesn't always come naturally. It's awkward after holding a 20 month old!)

Little Penn and all his chins was passed around from aunt to aunt to uncle to cousin and once in awhile to Mommy or Daddy.

5. Cousins that connect at the hip and don't let go for 3 days. There are tears with each family that leaves to go home.




6. Bonfires and wearing brother's high school jacket.

7. Getting to see my sisters all pregs and hormonal...have i told you that they are both having boys? That's three nephews this year!!! It makes me so happy that our family keeps getting bigger and bigger. More fun. More love.

8. Easter Day including Easter egg hunt with uncles hiding eggs
Have you ever seen so many baskets?

9. Sometimes you have to drive 22 hours just to get a family picture.
10. Spending time with Nana and G-daddy. I love and admire them oh-so much.

We are in withdrawals too. Seriously, for a few days, when I would get Kirby from naps or in the morning, he would just look around and look around. I'm quite certain he was looking for those cutie cousins. Love you guys for traveling cross-country to be with us. We love and miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even with a 22 hour trip in a car with three children, you can still find positive reasons for making the trip. After looking at the pictures, it appears that the trip was well worth the time and possible frustrations in the car.Jacque you have a wonderful attitude which serves you well as a Mom
