Nice Vacation

Allary and I went to my Mom and Dad's house for a week and a half. Jason was working in Nashville during that time and had been out of town for most of the month. I was feeling very lonely and isolated and tired of being snowed in up here in our new house. So, the time spent with my parents was absolutely wonderful. Just having an adult to talk to is a fabulous thing. It is also so nice to have others around who want to entertain Allary, read her a book, color a picture, or give her a bath. My mom and I did a lot of shopping and eating out and just visiting and drinking Diet Coke. Ahhh, that's the life. Thanks Mom for everything, we really had a great time.
Here are some photos from our time there.

Allary's first time on an airplane. She's got her sucker, her baby doll, and a video player with Blue's Clues (borrowed from Trisha, "Thanks Trish!"). She did great.


My little Sleeping Beauty. This was during the day when my mom was working. I guess I just wasn't exciting enough compared to Grandma and Grandpa.

I just think she looks so beautiful when she sleeps. It must be partly because it is the only time she is not up to something.


I got to visit one of my best friends Katie, and her new baby boy, Cole. (I forgot to bring along my camera and so I stole these photos from Katie, thanks Katie!) It was so good to see her and hold her sweet baby. This turned out to be a great photo, aside from the little pill with her finger up her nose.


Allary had a great time playing with Noah. She came to show me that toy drill, and I said, "Oh, what do you have?" She looked at it, thought a moment, and said, "It's a hair dryer." Is she a girl or what?


My mom was happy to help out with bath duty. She may have had second thoughts when she realized she could get wet enough to call it a bath of her own. Allary loved squirting Grandma with the bath toys.


I love this photo of Allary with Grandma and Grandpa.
