Trip home

Scarlett and I just returned from a whirlwind 8 day tour of Georgia! We drove in with the help of Jill last Tuesday, then returned yesterday with the help of my mom. Scarlett did so awesome on the drive. We had the dvd player with us, but surprisingly, Scarlett was able to entertain herself with toys and books (and Grandmommy and Gigi of course). We ended up watching only a couple hours of movies each way! With the exception of a throwing up incident on 75-85 in downtown Atlanta on the return trip, she was a perfect car-rider!

Our stay was full of running around, but tons of fun. We started the trip in Canton, spending the night with my dad and Jill. Wedensday took us down to Conyers for a stay with Cameron's parents. Scarlett discovered her inner musician on the grand piano and made great friends with the kitties (even learned to call for Cocoa and Sissy!).

Next up we headed to Alpharetta to my mom's house where Scarlett met her next best friend - my mom's dog Peaches. She's STILL talking about "P". My mom, Scarlett and I headed up to Gainesville to see Colin's new apartment and dog Zoe. We had lunch with Colin and his girlfriend, Melissa. They both have such cute houses and that dog is adorable! Scarlett loved playing fetch with Zoe...even though Scarlett's throwing abilities weren't much of a challenge for the poor puppy!


The next day was a trip up to Winder to see my grandparents and aunt uncle and cousins from Oregon (who I hadn't seen in 5 years!). It was great to see everyone and catch up. I was SO impressed with Scarlett for how easily she warmed up to everyone and ran around talking and playing. Holly came up to take some pictures of the family.

Here's almost the whole family (we're missing Cameron, Chloe and Ariel).
4 generations

I LOVE these pictures of Scarlett! Holly is so talented...she always gets the best pictures!!

After our stay in Winder I headed to Canton for a couple days to hang with my dad, Jill and Maddie. Luckily we had a relaxing weekend because by this time I was exhausted!! I did get to go to the new Super Target in Canton (biggest Target in Georgia!). That was pretty exciting since I LOVE Target. Scarlett got some super cute gladiator sandals. Love them!! Monday we had a nice cookout to celebrate Colin's birthday, then it was back to Alpharetta for the night to gear up for the drive on Tuesday.

Check out the shoes!
We spent a lot of time outside. Scarlett loves to run around!
I enjoyed seeing everyone so much and loved visiting, but man, I am so happy to be back in my own bed!! And even MORE happy to have Scarlett back in her own bed!
