Mississippi Visit

McKenna, Ginny, and I flew to Jackson, MS then drove to Brookhaven, MS to see Meredith, Andrew, sweet baby Lylah, their new home and town. It was an adventure of a life time for us crazy gals :o)

Our flights were all on time, but this mama learned a valuable lesson: don't fly with McKenna during bed time - she will NOT sleep on the plane anymore...need I say more? McKenna was a good girl (no tears) but she was VERY busy...loopy almost! She did fall asleep in the car on the way to Mer's house, but decided NOT to sleep through the night ONCE while we were there. (sigh)

We had a great time none-the-less. All that mattered was that us girls were together. Give us a place to be, some snacks, and each other...that's all we needed!


McKenna was pretty good with Lylah...as long as Mommy was not holding Lylah! If Mommy did hold Lylah, then McK became quite the jelly-belly (jealous)! Lylah was very sweet to McKenna, shared her toys, and provided lots of smiles, giggles, and entertainment! She was a fabulous hostess!


The girls became great travel buddies in the car as we drove around the see the sights and eat out!


We spent a lot of time out on Mer's front porch...with good reason...it is beautiful! The Spring time had brought out the gorgeous flowers, and having the porch swing and rocking chairs were the added bonus!

Life long friends...

While the sun was shining we set out on a neighborhood walk to get the lay of the land and see where Mer lives.


Time for snuggles! The real friendship that took place was that between McKenna and Moses! That girl LOVED that dog! Moses was so patient, kind, gentle, and understanding to McK's obsession with him. I think she wore him out with hugs and kisses. And NO, we will NOT be getting her a dog any time soon :o)

Meredith's friends invited us over for lunch in their beautiful home. It was such a treat!


Outside fun for the girls...




Not only were the little girls good traveling buddies, but good high chair and bath buddies too!


I snuck in as many snuggles with Lylah as I could!!!


We were able to be in Brookhaven over a Sunday and got to go to church with Mer. Their church home is beautiful and the church family adores them. It was good to see where they are planting their family roots!

The flight home was much better! McKenna seemed to be a pro at this point in traveling around. She is a good buddy to have along for the ride...but we were SO GLAD to get home and to a FULL night's rest :o)

You three girls are looking thin and gorgeous. Glad the babies get to hang out together. All the pictures look great.
