June 6th -- What an amazing trip! Lauren traveled 9.5 hours to White Hall, Arkansas, to meet her grandparents for the first time (then she traveled back another 9.5 hours...but we won't talk about that experience...). There is nothing like watching your parents interact with your baby. There is a whole other paradigm that gets stretched beyond recognition while watching your father (who is not known for his soft side) making silly faces and noises at his new granddaughter. Thankful does not even begin to describe my emotions regarding this trip.
Beth had a really good time visiting with my parents and grandparents--her most relaxed trip to Arkansas since our first one before we got married. Of course that translated over directly to my mood, too, which enabled my experience to be that much better. The only thing that wasn't 100% positive was the return trip. In retrospect, we probably should have left Arkansas on Sunday evening so that Lauren could travel at night. She doesn't travel as well when she's awake in her car seat for 9 straight hours.
We got to hang out with Aunt Deb, Carmen, Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Jamie, Paul, and little Ruby this trip. There were others we didn't get to call, but hopefully we will be back around Thanksgiving. There are some photos posted in the "photo" section from the trip. Please check them out!
