When we moved, it was a tad bit easier to say goodbye since
we knew we would be back in just a few weeks to celebrate Thanksgiving with
Mark’s family. We made the trip up on
the Wednesday before Thanksgiving with the three kids, including 6 week old
Harper. In case you were wondering, that
was a BAD idea! The trip should have
taken about 4 hours. It took SEVEN. It was also the trip we realized that Harper
is not a fan of being in the car at night.
UGH.
But spending the week with Mark's parents, his two sisters and their families made it all worth it! I was still up most of the night with a colicky Harper at that point, so it was so nice to have friends stay up with me and keep me company! I was horrible at taking pictures, so I only have a few. We snapped this one as we loaded up the car. Actually, I may have had my husband unbuckle the girls when I realized that we didn't get any pictures! Sorry, Babe! :)
Then Beth took over the camera so I could be in one too. Notice anything?? This was the last day of our trip, and I pulled out our last clean clothes for the car ride. Yup, I accidentally dressed myself to match the big girls! haha!
I love this sweet one of Harper getting in some serious snuggle time with her PonPon! She slept like that for hours! Although Harper sleeps GREAT at night now, some things haven't changed. Just the other day, Landrie said, "Mommy, Harper sure doesn't like to sleep in her car seat! She only likes to take naps in her crib or the Moby Wrap!" Maybe it's because she likes to snuggle and sleep on her tummy? Who knows!
We are so thankful for so much this year! At Thanksgiving we were celebrating a new career, a new home and a new BABY! We loved reflecting on the good gifts we have been given as we spent time with so much sweet family! Harper is grandbaby #9 for Mark's parents, so things were always hopping!!
