We drove to New York to be with our families for Thanksgiving, and drove back on Sunday night through the night. It seems to work best that way for now. Gemma sleeps pretty well and we avoid all the traffic. But, of course, by our arrival in the morning she's up and ready to go! And since Daddy usually does all the driving, a Mommy who did get a bit of sleep tries to think of things to do . . . like getting out of the house for breakfast. :) This time we went to the Starbucks in Target for their oatmeal.
Oh, yes, it's yummy. :)
"Can you smile for Mommy's camera?"
So cute! Love that smile!! We used to do the same drive through the night, but our eldest no longer sleeps in the car...literally stayed awake for every single minute of our through-the-night drive...not a wink. Sad that option is gone now because it is so convenient. Glad you got to make it home for the holiday!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteLove it. I love going on dates with Charis, usually it's to Ikea or Starbucks. :)
ReplyDeleteNice. :) I have to try hard not to be envious of people who live near an Ikea.
DeleteDo you see Heidi in her? Of course that would be you in her :) But I see a hint of Heidi I think. She is so beautiful Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteYes . . . especially in her coloring. :) And, thanks. :)
