A Few Firsts

This past weekend marked a few firsts for our little Em-her first road trip, first trip to the farm, first time at GranSan's house, and first Easter! We headed to Shreveport on Thursday afternoon and the trip there was a bit rocky. She screamed-notice I did not say cried-she SCREAMED the whole way there! The only time she wasn't screaming was when she was out of her car seat when we stopped to feed her in Nacogdoches! When I took her out, her hair and clothes were soaking wet from sweat because she had cried so hard! After we got Thursday behind us, we had a great weekend. It was definitely an adventure learning how to pack with a baby AND a dog. Before when we went to Shreveport, we packed one bag for the two of us put Maggie in her kennel and off we went. Those days are definitely over-we looked like we were moving to Shreveport, not staying for a weekend! It was so fun taking her to see everyone. We were disappointed that Jaf, Shell, and the girls weren't there but she got plenty of kisses from my mom, dad, Jon, Dondi, Nate, Bailey, Jerry, Janet, and Patsy-not to mention everyone at church! The trip home was much better-she didn't start crying until we got to Houston, 10 minutes from the house!

GranSan had so much fun spoiling Em-complete with an Easter basket!

Dondi and Nate stopped by right when we got there-unfortunately it was time to eat so she wasn't her usual smiling self...sorry Nate!

Bailey couldn't wait to hold Emerson-she was so good with her! Too bad she is 3 1/2 hours away or we would have us a good babysitter!

Can you believe Nate and Bailey were ever this little Jon?!

Robin, John Ryan and Nora came to meet Emerson on Saturday.

Nora Jo and Em will be life long friends!

All decked out in her Sunday best! The bib stayed on until it was time for pictures!

The first of many happy Easters together!

I am sad that I don't have any still pictures of her with Jerry and Janet-it is all video!
