We're back





We're back in FL. Eric was able to take some leave last minute, so we headed north. Tennessee and Kentucky are really pretty to drive through. The girls did wonderfully! It is about a 19hr drive, without a toddler and baby...we took about 3 days. We surprised our moms, and that was fun, got to see lots of family and friends, had Laurelei baptized and enjoyed just hanging out with everyone.
We would like to thank Eric's parents for letting us stay with them, along with Derik and Jamie. Thanks to Jo and Kit for the great room in IA City, and for everyone who made an effort to meet up with us. The girls and I will be back mid summer for a couple of weeks, so hopefully we can see everyone again and meet up with those we couldn't this time.
The girls got to see each set of grandparents & great grandparents --they have 6 total! Everyone is still with the love of their life and in decent health. Great G'pa P turned 77, Great G'ma P turned 80, and Great G'ma R turned 86, all while we were there. Happy Birthday to everyone, and may this year be filled with blessings for all.
I have several rolls of film that still need to be developed, so I will post more pictures soon. Tomorrow --if the weather holds out we're heading to the beach --CJ has been asking for it since Montgomery >on the way north. Laurelei is doing great and growing more each day. Rolling over wasn't a fluke, but she has been held so much the past couple of weeks she didn't do it much while on vacation.
That's all for now.

Ben rolled over at his 1 month check up on the table when they were looking him over. His was a fluke! He is getting there seems to get stuck with his arm bending the wrong way....not too comfortable as he usually is screaming by this point.
