One very long week cont...

After finally getting things wrapped up here in Mobile, we finally got on the road to have a fun vacation (Blaine and I LOVE road trips). We traveled to Brookhaven, MS where Blaines parents live and got to spend a couple of days with his family! Cooper got to see his cousin Emily and had a BLAST playing with her around Grandmas and Papas house. Grandma spoils Cooper and Carter rotten and they love every minute of it!! :)













Digging for worms with Grandma and playing in the sand box.



We then drove down to Jackson, MS to visit all of our old friends. I so miss you guys!! Cooper got to play with a couple of his Jackson friends and was very sad when we had to leave their houses. We took the kids to the reservoir (one of our favorite spots) and let them run wild and play. We then went to Ichiban (Blaines favorite sushi place) to eat dinner. We also drove by our old house and it made me so sad. Even though we LOVE our house here in Mobile, there are so many memories in our Jackson home.













The last leg of our trip took us to Louisiana where some more of Blaines family live. We stayed a couple of days with Blaine's cousin Nathan and his wife Jill along with their two dogs (Voodoo and chucho). The boys had alot of fun and did really well hanging with the dogs. Carter learned a couple of new words (dog and sit) and was very cute telling the dogs to sit. Thanks Nathan and Jill for letting us hang out with y'all!
Sunday evening we finally headed home. Besides the dirty laundry from the trip, being back home is great! Carter was so excited to get in his own bed and to be in his room(he had a couple hard nights being away from his bed). All in all we had a great time on vacation, but we all were super happy to be home and relax in our own beds!!!

How fun! Emily is so cute! I haven't seen her in so long. I bet Blaine's parents had a great time seeing the kids.

I know you guys had fun with Nathan and Jill. They are great. It is crazy to think we will be visiting there in just a couple more months. Hopefully we will get to see you guys. That would be the best. I am glad you guys had some time away that is always needed here and there.

We miss you guys! The day after you came by, Harlan got on his toy phone and "called" Cooper. He said, "Cooper, you can come and play. I just love you. Bye-bye." Then, on our hearing party day, Harlan was so excited for Cooper to come. :( I knew they were good friends, but I guess I didn't think about how attached he had become to Cooper!
