Whew! Major Travels

By Kerry -
So I'm still in San Antonio, but got here via Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. It has been a very busy two weeks. We took a week vacation to visit family and then I headed to a work conference in SA that has led me to be away from the blog for too long. Stick with me over the next few days as I retell the stories of our trips... they are worth the wait.

Our journey begins with an exciting and fun plane trip to Michigan. In this story, fun equals a very cranky and sick one year old and a two year old that dislocated her elbow, and exciting equals over an hour trying to console the two year old while other obvious non-parents glared and tsked disapprovingly in our direction.


Fortunately, Addison was good as new after a student nurse popped her elbow back into place. And just like any good mother would do, I considered it a photo op and took pictures of our first trip to the ER. Notice her obstinate personality coming through in the pictures!





Regardless, Addison was good as new shortly after her purple popsicle and was running around with her uncle's dog within an hour of the "popping".

Editing to include some shots of Addison less than an hour after her hospital trip -AM

I just know it!!! Emerson was triple-dog-dared by some older 18 month old punk who told her that "everyone was doing it" and she'd be cool if she did it also. That must be why she decided to use the jungle gym at school and do a no-hands-flying-trapeze-triple-gainor that landed her face first into the cedar chunks. This girl gives me fits!!! The fact that she never cried and the preschool teacher didn't see it happen was just icing on the cake and classic Emme... you can't turn away from her for a millisecond! And just for the sake of documentation, this picture was taken a good three hours after it happened. You should have seen her poor face when I picked her up at 4:00!

Pappy = Pee-Paw

Addison likes... no, LOVES to look at pictures these days. I guess for my generation it was tons of pictures in albums that were always so much fun. For her generation (I think they're still being called the millennials, but I'm not sure if she's too young to fit into that group), she points at my computer whenever she realizes it's around and asks to see pictures. Her favorite is looking at pictures of other babies. I like to show her pictures from another blog of a family in our area that has just had quintuplets ! She thinks they are the cutest and could look at the pictures forever! Yesterday, Addison snuggled up into my lap and asked to look at babies. I decided to pull up pictures of her from when she was a baby and ask her who all of the people were with her in the pictures. She knew most all of them, mostly because we talk about our family in different pictures quite a bit. Unfortunately, she just refused to believe that the man in a few of the pictures ...
