We're Back...

Well, we made it! For the past two weeks we have been making the rounds from Greensboro to Princeton to Pinehurst! Here is Mary Adams getting ready to pack for our big trip over Christmas and New Year's. We drove (with a baby and dog, mind you) from Atlanta to Princeton, NJ! Sounds crazy I know but luckily neither the baby nor the dog threw any fits. As for Charley and me- that's another story. I'm joking, it went surprisingly well!! Our first stop was in Greensboro, NC to break up the trip and visit Aunt Elizabeth. Thanks, Liz, for letting us stay in your wonderful new house!

In Princeton at long last. The should-have-been nine hour long drive took us eleven because of the worst traffic I have ever been! It was nearly bumper to bumper north of Richmond through Philadelphia- unbelievable. See how happy we are to be out of the car with GrandMil to greet us?

Christmas Eve morning after we arrived the night before: here's MA in her bumbo before we go play in the snow.

Here's our little family all bundled up for the cold weather. Ruby and Bess loved each other and had so much fun in the snow.

Our little polar bear nearly blends in with the snow!

Christmas morning in front of her baby tree that Milly and Charles got for her. She loved it!

Finally we made it back down South where we spent New Year's in Pinehurst. We had so much fun but I'm only posting one picture (because I'm exhausted again after looking through all the pictures!)- Mary Adams on NYE. She's playing with another toy from Christmas. And no, we did not let her stay up until twelve- though there was talk of waking her up just before so we could have a real New Year's baby in a diaper and tophat to ring in 2010. I said "No!"...
