Tomorrow, we’re going on a road trip. And I doubt it will be nearly as fun as this car ride:
The girls were happy as clams today in their own little car, courtesy of their beloved GiGi (my Gramma). It’s only a one-person vehicle, but they didn’t seem to mind being a little squished. In fact, they were so enthralled with their new ride that it made me wish I could somehow tow it behind the truck on our trip tomorrow – they’d probably be a lot happier in there than in their car seats! Of course, even if they weren’t happy, we wouldn’t hear them crying, would we? (Don’t worry mom, I wouldn’t really do that to them!). Although, we may hear Becky honking from way back there – she was fascinated by the horn!
Anyway, we’re taking a road trip tomorrow down to a lake cabin we’ve rented for the week with my parents and sister. I’m very excited for my family to get to know the girls now that their little personalities are not so little anymore. My sister hasn’t seen them since Christmas. The last time she held them, she had to support their heads, like this:
Now the only support they need is a hand or two to hold while walking!
However, right now Becky is in fact in need of a little assistance. She’s come down with a nasty cold, just in time for vacation. She apparently views me as one giant Kleenex. She totters over to me, buries her face in my shirt and wipes her sliminess all over my front. It’s not my favorite role, but I’ll take it. Because who could refuse a face like this?
Hopefully the car ride isn’t filled with too many sniffles and coughs. But my mom has assured me that, cold or no cold, she will happily snuggle with Becky. Maybe I can talk her into being Becky’s new handkerchief!
P.S. – I don’t know what the internet situation will be at the lake cabin, but I’ll do my best to update the blog while we’re away. I know you’ll all be waiting on pins and needles to view more boating pictures! :)
