Family Trip to the A-T-L

The memorial service for Heather's father was this past weekend in Atlanta. We left Thursday night at 8:00 after the kids had fallen asleep and got into Atlanta at 1:00. It seemed like the kids loved the adventure of it because when they woke up in the hotel room they were laughing and smiling so much! They spent the afternoon at their grandparent's house while Brent and I went to the service. It was really nice and it was good to see Heather and her mom and to know that so many people love them and are providing support for them through this really tough time.

After the service, Brent and I went and picked up the kids and took them to IKEA. Wow! IKEA is so awesome and fabulous! It's a good thing that we don't have one in Bluffton, otherwise our house would look like the inside of the IKEA catalog. After that, we decided to truck it on back home so that the kids could wake up in their own beds but we didn't make it past Macon before Brent and I decided we were too tired to make it the whole way. It was nice waking up and taking our time getting home the next morning. It was a total crash course on taking the babies out in public!

Sometime over the weekend, Callie caught a cold in her eye! What the hell is that!?!? I didn't even know nastiness like that existed but I'm sure it's just the first of weird sicknesses that will be brought into this house. Anyway, my point is that I had to take her to the doctor's office this morning for it and of course they weigh your kid at every visit no matter what. WELL... Girlfriend weighs 15 lbs. 8 oz. and is in the 90th percentile for her age!! Porky McPorkerson! The doctor laughed because the last time we were hoping she would even make it on the growth chart because she was a preemie and now Big Bertha is about to fall off the chart on the other end! The doctor started to discuss putting her on a diet as she was checking her height but stopped when she realized that she is also in the 90th percentile for that too! So, my baby is proportionate! She might be an amazon baby, but at least, she is proportionate. I just hope she doesn't grow up to be some huge and big boned ogre! She won't be able to get a date or shop for clothes anywhere other than 'Big & Tall'. Hahahaha! My poor little cal bear.
