We have had such a busy few days! On Friday we loaded up the car with LOTS of bag (way more than Daddy and I ever had before you travled with us :) and started our the trip to Virginia. I get so excited when we take our trips down South! Mommy grew up in Virginia and it is such a very special place to me. I hope when you grow up that you will come to love it as much as I do! The mountains are so beautiful, there is no denying that they are a part of God's masterpiece.
Our plan was to leave Thursday after Daddy got home from work, but you decided that you didnt want us to pack during the day! You felt like snuggling, and to be honest... that felt like a better plan to me too!! This ended up being a good thing, because your older brother Charlie ended up getting sick late that night! It was a little scary, but in the end everything ended up being okay! Daddy took him to a special doctor and they were able to make him better!
You are not a big fan of your car seat these days, so the trip down wasn't really something you enjoyed! You preferred the stops we made along the way so much more! We could tell you were really sleepy, but like you usually do... you fought sleep! Finally you gave in and got some rest!
We got to Salem in time to have dinner with PaPa and Uncle Scott. We went to one of our favorite places in Salem... Mac and Bob's! Daddy always looks forward to getting a Boston Zone! It is a calzone, with buffalo chicken tenders in it. Mommy isn't such a fan of it, but Daddy loves it! After dinner we went to see Aunt Heather! She was SO excited to see you! You were pretty sleepy, but still enjoyed visiting with Kiele and Remi. We had such a fun time. Uncle Mike made a fire in their fire pit, and we all made s'mores and caught up!
On Saturday, Mommy got her hair cut!! I love when I am able to fit this into a visit to Salem! Carla does such a great job and it was so good to see her! She loved meeting you! When it is time for your first hair cut, we will definitely be making the trip down to VA so that she can be the one to do it!
That afternoon, we had a few friends over to PaPa's for a Scentsy party. While I know that our friends wanted to smell the yummy scents... I think the real reason people wanted to come was to meet you :) I was SO very excited that you were finally able to meet one of my best friends! Kristen drove all the way from Lynchburg with her two sweet girls to meet you!
One of the things I was most excited about for this trip was that you got to meet your GranMommy's best friend, Sharon. Sharon was such a special friend to my Mommy. They worked together at Andrew Lewis Middle School in the library, and they had so much fun together! They started as co-workers but were meant to be the greatest of friends. I know that GranMommy was with us on Saturday when you got to meet her! It was very obvious how very much Sharon loved you!
We were able to fit in one more visit with Aunt Heather, by going to dinner on Saturday I love that Aunt Heather and I have been through so much together and we continue to be such close friends! It was so nice to have dinner with both our families! I cant wait for our next visit!
As Mommy and Daddy were packing to go home, you discovered the piano at Papa's! People always comment on your beautiful long fingers and say they think you will be a pianist! I think they may be right :)

After a fast and very busy weekend, we were on the road! You snoozed most of the car ride because you seem to be developing a cold! I hate that you are getting sick, but I never tire of looking at this sweet face!
