Back Home...

Back home has come to have two meanings in my life and I have done both this past week! To me, home is where your family is. At this point, Michael and I have our families in OK and we have our home where we live. This past week, Hannah and I went "back home" to Oklahoma for a visit and now we are "back home" with her Daddy!

So, lets go through some of the events and photos of the past week. First of all, our layover was in SLC both directions, so we were in all three states that I have lived as we traveled. On the way out, we had a long layover and we were able to see Cindi! We haven't gotten to see her since we moved and it was SO great getting to spend some time with her, even though it wasn't near long enough! She and I split the best sundae ever and we were able to talk a little and she got her snuggles in with Hannah! It was hard saying goodbye again, but we had a plane to catch. I have learned with living far away from loved ones that it is always hard saying goodbye when you don't know when the next time you will see each other will be.

On this trip, Hannah finally started to figure out how to hold her own bottle! It started with the baby food feeder (show in the picture on the airplane) and has gradually moved to her milk bottles! She still wants you to hold it for her and I am more than happy to do it because I love our time snuggling while she eats, but it is nice to know that she will if she has to!

We flew into OKC airport instead of DFW this time. Since our flight was so late, we were able to stay at my Aunt Glenda's house. She has this fabulous house about 10 minutes from the airport. She hadn't gotten to meet Hannah yet, so it was great getting to spend some time with her. We also stayed at her house the night before we flew back to California and got to see my cousin John and his wife, Ashley. They are expecting their first child, Paisley, next month. For some reason, I didn't get any pictures of them with Hannah, but here is one of her with Aunt Glenda!

On Saturday when we got to Durant, we went to Michael's parents house. It was funny seeing Hannah and Jacob interact with each other. She is so mobile and he isn't, so she would go and steal his toys or his pacifier and roll away! She would try to grab his ears or pat his back, it was hilarious! Here is a pic of each of Michael's parents holding both of their grandkids!We got to see Carla and Heath on Saturday before they headed back to Dallas. I was glad they were able to come up and see us, even if it was just for a few hours! Once again, I don't have pictures with them to show you. I seem to not take as many pictures as I think I have when I go back to Oklahoma and so when I go to download them and make a post, I am always disappointed that I don't have the pictures that I thought I did...

I did get some pictures of Hannah posing in one of her new outfits! Only the few of us that were there know why she was such a good poser in these pictures...

I have a ton of pictures of the day that Hannah and I spend with Grandma, Jacki, and Jacob. We went and had some pictures made of the two of them together in their semi-matching outfits. Jacki bought Hannah a onesie that says "sugar and spice and everything nice" and Jacob's says "frogs, snails and puppy dog tails". We couldn't ever get them both looking and smiling at the same time!
Ok, I have more pictures and stuff to post, but I don't have time right now, so I will stop here and make another post later...
