Road Trips!

To try and help pass the time this winter (have I mentioned how by now, I HATE winter??), we've taken a few road trips...

First, Aaron had an unexpected trip to Cali for work for a few days.  He was actually so close to my BFF and her husband.  If I could have found a last minute babysitter, I definitely would have tried to go with him.  Since I'm usually counting down the minutes until Aaron gets home from work every day, I knew that I needed to go somewhere the days he was gone.  So, we called Beeba and Grandpa and asked if they'd like a visit!  We were already planning on coming the following week, but as if they would ever say no.  So, Zoe, Wally and I packed up and headed to Rockford for a few days in the middle of the week.  

Sink bath!  And she could care less that her hands taste
like soap.  Her hands are in her mouth CONSTANTLY.

My head itches!!

She is OBSESSED with crunching.  She does crunches
all of the time when she's laying down.  I wish I was that
motivated :)

Next, Zoe and I headed to Bay City to spend some time with my college roommate and her little girl, Grace.  We had so much fun and I'm so glad we were able to get together and catch up.  I can't wait for warmer weather when we can get together and let the girls play outside.

Again, with the crunches.  I probably should have propped her
against Grace for a better photo.  Oh well :)

Then it was back to Rockford!  My dad had a retreat, so my mom and I made it a girls weekend.  We drove over a few days early, and Zoe and I made cookies for Grandpa.  She didn't last very long even though I kept telling her how fun it was and that she'd eventually love the taste of cookie dough.  We visited with Kelly and Luna for lunch one day and met Nana and Grandpa for lunch on Saturday.  Beeba was more than happy to watch Zoe during her nap while I went and used my gift certificate from my BFF for a mani/pedi.  It was so nice to get out of the house and not worry about schedules and just sit and relax and be pampered.  Thank you again Steph!!

No judgements on the placement of her bouncy.  She was strapped
in and I was literally one inch from her at all times :)

Whew...what a crazy February!  And now we have nothing planned until April.  I know Aaron is excited for us to be home :)
