Road Trips

We have recently made a few road trips. Ella proved to be a great traveler sleeping to our destinations. Luckily, we only went to Huntsville and Atlanta so the timing was perfect for us to not have to stop for a feed.

Our first trip was to Huntsville where Ella got to meet her Aunt Cathy, Uncle Jon, cousins Caerlleon, Ryan, Ryley and Great Grandmother Cotharin. It was nice to get away even if it was for just 24 hour trip. Gin and Papa needed a dose of Ella before they left for their annual ski trip to Colorado. This is the first year since Eric and I have been married that we have not gone skiing in Colorado. Maybe next year!
Ok, so this isn't the best picture but it was hard trying to get all 5 kids to cooperate...better luck next time!

Our second trip was to Atlanta to see my parents. Ella also got to meet Uncle Ben, Aunt Ashley, and cousins Emma Grace and Harris. It was great seeing my brother and his crew. I have not seen Harris since he was just a newborn. He is just the cutest thing. He sucks both thumbs. We also got to have dinner with my Aunt and Uncle! Eric and I spent Friday at IKEA and picked up some things to help organize our basement. We took advantage of the free baby sitting (thanks Maeme and Giggy) and also had our Valentine's lunch at California Pizza Kitchen at Atlantic Station. Eric let me go shopping at H&M and I came out with a few things for spring. The weather was cold and rainy. Looks like the groundhog predicted correctly this year.



We are hoping to get back to Huntsville this weekend to visit with Eric's sister Jennifer, who is in town from San Francisco. But, Birmingham is apparently under a winter weather advisory and they are predicting snow. Well, even the slightest thought of a snow flurry shuts the city down. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.
