Road Trip!

Lucy's first wrestling tournament - the Virginia Duals

 Uffta...we are home.  You probably didn't even know we were gone, but the three of us took a LOOOONNGGGG road trip from Minnesota to Virginia for 10 days!  I don't feel comfortable flying with Lucy yet - she's got medications and feeding tube supplies and a shunt and just way too much stuff for us to fit into 3 suitcases!  So, we decided to drive to Virginia to visit Jason's family.

Getting to know Grandpa Grover

Lucy did amazing in the car.  We tried to leave early afternoon, just before nap time and drove into the night so that she'd sleep most of the way.  We made the drive in two days each way, with a hotel stop for much needed stretching out space in between!  She spent much of the car ride sleeping, but entertained herself very well when she was awake (Jason will swear that she was awake only when I was driving so that he had the pacifier/entertainer duty!)

Dinner stop at Cracker Barrel in West Virginia

She also enjoyed meeting more of her relatives and continues to be such a joy to us.  We spent the last few days at the Virginia Duals wrestling event - her daddy was so proud to have her there with him!  She's getting to much stronger and rolls across the room when she's on the floor.  She's also getting much better at sitting up and loves to jump, jump, jump!  Her smiles light up her whole face and it's so much fun to be on the receiving end of them.

It's back to reality for us now, as we return to work, cold Minnesota weather and several doctors appointments over the next few weeks.
