My mom took Gretchen and Megan home with her on the 10th. It gave DJ and I a day with Addy and a day to rest. On Friday, when Addy was one week old, she took her first road trip to her Gee and Papaw's house in Arkansas.
Addy did so great in the car! I was so nervous, because Meggie was horrible on road trips! (She still can be.) But, Addy only woke up once to be fed, and then slept the rest of the way to Gee's house!
When we arrived, I was able to feed her, and then my grandmother held her for the first time. I just love this picture of her with my two little girls.
My mom invited my aunt, uncle, and a few cousins over for dinner, and it was enjoyable chatting with them and letting them see, hold and spoil Addy.... they also spoiled the other girls too!
Here's my brother holding Addy. She was just so tiny in his arms!
That evening, we went down to my brother's house, which they are currently building. I can't wait to see it finished!
It was pretty late when we got to bed, and Addy slept with us most of the night, and Meggie was up super early the next morning, as were DJ and Gretchen.
DJ and G left to go to visit his dad at the lake because we weren't able to make it over there this summer. #lakewithdrawls
I'm glad they were able to go and have the time with each other and with his dad & stepmom. G tubed and DJ put her in ski's, but she didn't like that she couldn't kick her feet in them, so she never tried to get up in them..... maybe next summer!
Saturday morning, we spent some time being lazy, and then got dressed for some shopping and errands!
MC is in love with her baby sister!
Addy's first shopping trip!
Meggie in the car!
We went to Belks and TJ Maxx, then had lunch at Chick Fil A, and ran to Hobby Lobby, and to my sister in law's work to check Addy's weight (She's back up to birth weight.), and finally went to Kroger.
The girls were so good and I was so proud of how Megan behaved and how good Addy was!
We spent the rest of Saturday hanging out and relaxing and taking naps.
We decided to skip church Sunday, and i'm pretty sure we spent half the morning getting dressed. My mom had to run back into town, and to distract Megan, I took her to the bathroom to straighten her hair and ended up putting her hair in a ponytail.
She kept telling me her hair was, "hot".
And, then she told me how pretty she is! #sheisright
My mom and I did some embroidery and appliqueing on Sunday afternoon, and I found Meggie's baby laying beside Addy on the bed.
DJ and G arrived home around 4 on Sunday afternoon and we grilled steaks for dinner, then went to the pool to swim.
Addy and I hung out outside watching everyone swim.
The girls had tons of fun jumping in and going down the slide!
It was a late night on Sunday, and another super early morning on Monday. Megan woke up at 6 am and we could not get her back to sleep!
I ended up taking a nap on the couch, and then we got dressed and packed to head home.
It was a joy to have Megan sleep in the car most of the way! We even told G that she had to take a nap before she could turn the DVD player on. Addy did great in the car as well, and we stopped halfway to eat lunch, then the girls watched a movie and I was able to take a nap before we came home.
I'm so glad that we were able to drive down and visit with our family! I feel like we can never see them enough, but it is so hard to travel with the girls sometimes! I'm not going to lie though, I was so relieved to be home on Monday because I knew that we'd finally be able to get in a routine with the girls!
