It was a good week!

This past week, Addi and I went with Joe to Peoria, Il. He had to be there to audit a class and to work on developing his own to teach. Since it was only a three hour drive we figured it would be a good opportunity for us to go. We drove seperately so that if Addi didn't do well, then her and I could come home whenever. We left at about 10pm Sunday night in hopes that Addi would sleep the whole time, I guess we planned it well b\c she woke up once with about 30 miles to go and cried for just a minute and went back to sleep!! Holy cow...never realized how much I would have to pack for her for 5 days...I'm sure I packed way too much and things that we could have lived without such as the bottle warmer and wipe warmer, but hey! We had a room that had a semi kitchen, dining table huge "L" shaped desk in which I used as a changing table, bedroom area and large bathroom. It worked out great having the kitchen area for washing bottles. Monday we just lounged around and took naps together and played. Tuesday we got out and went to Target and the mall, Wed we went to Toys R US and McDonalds for a delicious Sweet Tea and Thursday we went for a walk around a neighborhood and a shopping center. Thursday I also packed everything up and headed back to Indiana at about 8:30. Again, Addi slept the entire way!!
Having this week where I couldn't worry about cleaning house or doing laundry or having to go get this and that was great. I really got to enjoy just hanging out with Addi with really no other cares. Getting to be with her just makes me dread going back to work in 2 weeks even harder. She is getting so strong. When she is in her swing or carseat she raises her head forward like she is trying to sit up on her own, it's so cute. She also started eating 5 oz. every 4'ish hours this week. She is our little piggy!
In all we were very luck to get to be with Joe all week instead of being home without him.
