There's No Place Like Home

Here we are, one happy family, enjoying some time in the great state of Kansas.

Since we left Georgia on Thursday morning, we've:

• Made to Kansas on an airplane with two children, 7 bags, and 0 potty accidents.


• Did some late night shopping (after a glass or two of wine) and got some cute new things for the girls. (Shopping after drinks is never good for the pocketbook!)


• Taken the girls to the fabulous petting zoo here in Overland Park (KS) and fed ducks and goats . . . Meg even fed a bottle to a baby goat, the highlight of our day.


• Enjoyed an evening with friends as Jim's mom hosted a little party for us last night.


• Went out to breakfast -- just Jim and I -- to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, which is today (8/16).


• Packed up everything we could think of, loaded the car, and headed to the Lake of the Ozarks to spend a few days at Jim's family lake house.

It's been a wonderful 48 hours. A few things I haven't done include: bathing my toddler, changing countless diapers, and filling countless sippy cups. These things have been getting done -- don't worry -- I just haven't had to do them. Gotta love Nana and Papa.

We are throughly enjoying our time here . . . and we hope you are enjoying your weekend where you are.
