The Long Trek

Today was the big Moving Day! We left home at 7:45am and arrived at Mike & Eltza's in McKinney, TX at 11:30pm. To say it was a 'long haul' would be an understatement! We were going about 55 mph most of the way since we were pulling such a big trailer. Serena did pretty well. She did get sad at times, but we just tried to find ways to distract her from the fact she'd been in the car seat all day long! We played a lot of "Where's Daddy?" She thought it was SO funny to point at him and go, "Dada!" in a VERY high-pitched voice. If we stopped playing the game with her, she would just keep saying "Dada" over and over until we started in again with "Where's Daddy?" :) We tried to find music on the radio for her to listen to sometimes (usually music makes her happy), but we soon realized that basically all the stations were country as we drove south! :P The dogs mostly rode in their kennel in the back of the truck, but we allowed them up in the cab a couple times. Rocky decided that the comfiest ride was on Serena's lap! She thought that was pretty fun! She liked playing with his feet!

I don't know why I missed a large number of posts. I am so glad to read all the updates. I had been checking regularly hoping for news. There were tons of posts I somehow missed when we returned from vacation yesterday. It's going to take a few days to get up to speed and I sure am happy to get updated!!

I didn't get around to catching up on posting until about 2 weeks after we moved down here, Beth! Hope you enjoyed your vacation!
