We're here!

YEAH! We made it! We did it in one long ( I mean REALLY long) day. We left at 11 AM on Tuesday and pulled in at 4 AM (NY time). The big boys were fabulous. Couldn't have been any better. Owen had a license plate sticker book and literally spent 6 hours staring out the window finding different state license plates. Emmett still had a fever and didn't feel great, so he napped twice (which NEVER happens). Henry was good for most of it, but he didn't feel great either (he also had a fever). And at one point, he puked all over. Thankfully, breast milk vomit isn't so bad. The drive to E'ville from NY is so much bettter then the drive to E'ville from Colorado. There is SO many more fun places to stop and eat. We stopped at Fazoli's for dinner (since we don't have Fazoli's in NY). It's fast, cheap, and yummy. A great change from McDonald's! My sis in law's shop is fabulous! And Owen and Emmett helped her hang clothes on Wednesday. Owen is going to go back to the shop to hang out tomorrow. He wants to greet people and help sell clothes. Eddie and I went shopping Wednesday for clothes for me for Josie's baptism. All by ourselves!!!! Well, Henry was with us but that doesn't quite count. I found clothes, although they are an embarrasing size (down 11 pounds in 5 weeks......25 to go!). Today, the St. Louis area is having a major ice storm. So, we were pretty much snowed (I mean iced in). Supposed to be the same for tomorrow. But, we did make it out to meet my dear friend and Owen's godmom, Amy, for lunch. So much fun.....Monday is going to come too quickly......
