Well, we made it :) We had a great drive to my parent's house. We got going at 11:30 am and drove all afternoon and through the night.
Eli sat here for a VERY long time. He did GREAT. He took one nap, and watched a couple of videos, played with his games, and watched the cars go by. He didn't really cry at all. What a trouper! He slept pretty good through the night too. It made the trip much easier with him being so good.
Edgar did most of the driving. He drove until about 8:30 and then I drove until about 12:30...then he drove until 5...the HARD hours. I drove until 7:30, and then Edgar drove until we got to my parent's house at 9:00. It was SO good to see 'the farm'...it had been a long trip! It wasn't a bad trip...but a long trip :)
We stopped for dinner at Chick-fil-a and they had a play area. Eli enjoyed getting out of his seat and walking around. I think daddy did too...

I think daddy did too...We got to my parent's house, and were pretty tired, but we stayed up all day and enjoyed the family. By the time dinner came around we were pretty tired. We ate and brought Eli back into the house (We eat out by the indoor pool) and played with him a little. I think we were both just trying to make it until Eli went to bed :) So when he went to bed at 7:30, we went with him...and slept until 7:00! We both feel MUCH better now!
Today we got up and had breakfast, then headed up to Randee's shop for haircuts. So far, Randee is the only person I trust to cut Eli's hair. This is his before shot.
He was doing pretty good...as long as I was feeding him Cheerios...
The he started to cry so I sang 'There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly'. That worked for a little bit, but then...
...he was done. He didn't want Aunt Randee cutting his hair ANY MORE. He made it through, though, and his hair looks great!
Afterwards he played with the toys at Randee's shop until I got my hair done. He really liked the Cookie Monster toy :) He also enjoyed playing with the kitchen toys...Edgar was sure to get him some Lego's after he got back from his coffee run, so he wasn't playing with 'girl toys' :)

The snow is falling, and the wind is blowing. It's good to be inside, and WONDERFUL to look out the window at how beautiful it is here!
