Adventures at Grandma and Grandpa's!
As promised, here are the pictures from our trip, complete with descriptions :-)
Baby Girl woke up this morning bright-eyed and busy-tailed at 4am. I brought her into our room in the hopes she'd go back to sleep but she was having none of that. In a cheery way, of course. She managed to occupy herself in our bed for another hour, but as the light slowly brightened our bedroom she started recognizing things and started getting really excited; the alarm clock's LED display, the painting of herons above our dresser, the kitty scratching post... She sat bolt upright in the middle of our bed waving her arms and exclaiming at each familiar sight (and there are a lot of them, obviously). To the point where at 5am I gave up on getting any sleep and picked her up and took her out to the living room, her exclaiming and wriggling in my arms the entire way.
We opened up her Easter basket from her Washington Grandma and Grandpa (the Elmo card was a big hit! As was the furry basket and the care bear. Thank you!) and then one by one I brought out her toys, and one by one she'd let out a squeal of joy at seeing them.
You'd think we were gone 3 months!
She went to town in her jumperoo. Once she remembered how to bounce there was no stopping her.
We finally dozed off for a nap at 7:45am, while watching our Laurie Berkner DVD (which caused a whole lot more wriggling and squeals of delight until she got too tired to do anything but stare blankly at the tv screen).
There's no doubt about it. Baby Girl thoroughly enjoyed her travels - the plane ride, the visit with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Sarah and Mike and Aunt Glad and Jack and Aunt Penny and Bob and all the dogs, but she also really enjoyed coming home :-)
Enjoy the photos!

Awesome pictures! I love the ones where she has to brush your teeth for you, because clearly, you do it wrong. And the ones where she doesn't eat her veggies. I've been calling her late at night, reminding her not to eat them. :-P
