Trip To Pittsburgh

Grandma Mimi and Gramps came to babsit, so Louisa and I could take a trip to Pittsburgh, visit with my parents and ALL of my siblings and meet my older sister's latest red-haired and blue-eyed cutie---and Gabe is soooo cute! He's two months old but definitely bigger than Louisa---his little cheeks are absolutely adorable.

Yes, it was weird to be away from my big kids for 5 days---weird and WONDERFUL! I got a much needed breather. And the kids did great---Laney even told me repeatedly on the phone how much she didn't miss me. It would almost be funny but she reminded me so often and so emphatically that she didn't miss me that a little part of me wanted to strangle her. Don't worry--I'll remind her of this when her own child acts wretchedly.

Louisa got some much needed mommy time and snuggles. She was a piece of cake to travel with---who would have thought that traveling across the country with just one baby would seem like such a breeze!
