Our proudest moment...


We are safely home from our trip to North Carolina for cousin Elizabeth's wedding to Scott. Fist, I want to say I have never seen a happier bride in my life than Liz. It brought such joy to me to watch the pure happiness that just shone from her and to be a part of it all that day.

The trip home was not so full of sunshine.... Erin ended up not feeling well rather suddenly after we stopped for dinner (no more full dinners for HER on 10 hour journeys!) and her quick thinking resulted in her rollong down her window, putting her head out, and getting sick at 80+ miles and hour with her head out like a dog in the left lane of some highway in Virginia around 10:15 Sunday night. If you hear anybody talking about this wierd stuff that hit their car as they were driving north that smelled REALLY bad.... please don't give them our name!

Our little trooper, when it was all over, and we got to a stop to get her cleaned up, she first asked if I was mad that she has "some stuff" in her hair? Car was clean. (inside) clothes were clean. Little "stuff" in her hair was fine with me! After she washed her hair in the bathroom at the travel-stop, she came skipping out to me and asked if I liked her new hairstyle. (Still interested in her style after all that!) Then, the little turkey says, "Mommy, did you take my picture while I was throwing up? That would make an AWESOME scrapbook page!" Sorry, hon, you were too quick for me. She had to settle for a picture of her in front of the aftermath. But I have to say, the girl has her priorities right!

Kids keep you on your toes, don't you think? Kinda gross, but look how pleased she is with her self. We are so proud. This kid isn't going to have any problems in college at the parties...

I hope you remember this when she's in college and tells you that her boyfriend held her hair back while she threw up outside the bar on her 21st b'day!
