georgia

we did it!

two small kids, one nicely packed van and almost 20 hours on the road later, we're in georgia.

(never in my dreams did i think i'd attempt a road trip myself, but i guess stranger things have happened...)

the kids were EXCELLENT little travellers, so there weren't any issues there. i'm quite proud of them!

this is the little place we're staying at.

*snicker*... "little". hahahaha!

seriously, this house is nice! it's on a golf course- the driving range is right across the street. the kitchen is awesome, there are plenty of rooms (so that all the guys staying here get their own rooms and bathrooms, plus there's even a spare room for the kids!) so we're not all jam-packed together. i like it.

there's also a very wee playmate for the kids.

maybe "playmate" isn't the right word... but they're sure enjoying him!

cole wants to hold the little man all the time

(i think he's going to like it when OUR baby comes!)

the little man isn't always as enthusiastic about being held by a small preschooler, but he's very cooperative. total sweetie!

little man's mommy is a hair stylist. she's been in the business for over nine years, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to get cole a real haircut.
his very first official cut... it's always been me with the razor and attachments. it's usually a fairly loud affair. fortunately, cole didn't cry once (he whined a little, but i think it was mostly he didn't like the apron around his neck) and sat much better than i thought he would.

see? not nearly as enthused as mommy.

madison wasn't quite sure what to think...

finishing with the scissors on top.

now cole looks like a big boy instead of a little boy... *sniff*

madi got her "turn" with little man.

they both were watching "spongebob".

cole talked to grandma on the phone last night. he almost always says his "i love you's" and "goodbyes" after he takes the phone away from his ear.

(you can kind of see his new 'do... enough to get the idea, anyway!)

we're happy to be able to see kelvin for a little bit here and there... we got in on friday afternoon, then he had to work saturday and now they've started shut-down work, which means they're working 12-hour days. it's a little disappointing, because i was hoping we'd get down here in time to take a weekend and go see charleston, sc and the beach, but that's not going to happen. my ultrasound is scheduled for the day before thanksgiving, and i have my next prenatal appointment in two weeks, so i plan to be home in time for both.

in any case, it's nice to be able to see our hubby/daddy for a LITTLE bit each night, anyway!
