Whirlwind Weekend

Spencer, Ella Ann, and I spent last Friday through this past Monday on the road and visiting every family member we could along the way. It was crazy, but fun! We spent the night at Craig's house in Tennessee Friday night and got to hang out with him and Kasey. Saturday morning, we got up early and Craig traveled with us to Kentucky to visit with Spencer's two grandmother's. We also got to see his Aunt Connie, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Vickie during our visit also! We had not seen them since Christmas, so you can imagine how happy they were to see Ella Ann and were surprised to see how much she has changed! More hair....yeay!!! Of course everyone still is in agreement, except for Gayla, that she is the spitting image of Spencer....I agree! That afternoon, Craig left with Ella Ann for western Kentucky to stay with Gary and Gayla and Spencer and I drove north to Elizabethtown to go to one of our good friend's, Joel's, wedding. The wedding was fun and we were thrilled to see some of our old friends from Kentucky that we hadn't seen since we left two years ago! Everyone was sad that they didn't get to meet Ella Ann...still... but Spencer and I couldn't have been any happier to be baby-free for an evening! We drove to his parents house after the reception and spent Mother's Day with our family. My parents drove over to their home to spend some time with Ella Ann that afternoon and we all got to enjoy some family time together. Carter and Ella Ann babysat one another and we didn't have to do to much to take care of them...especially with the grandparents around! They just loved seeing one another and both of them hugged and kissed each other often! It was SO cute! Seth had gotten bigger since we had seen him last and would just smile and coo at me...I loved it! :) On Monday morning we drove to see my parents once more to look at some cars on my dad's lot (long story as to why we have to get another car) and then we headed back to Georgia. Whew, what a trip it was!!!!

Here are some pictures from our travels. Sorry to everyone I missed getting a picture with, I figured I'd miss some people and I did.

Reading with Uncle Craig at Granny's house.

Ella Ann and Aunt Connie. She wasn't too interested in having her picture made with anyone pretty much all weekend...as you will see!

Reading, again, with Granny and Spencer.
