7 Months and Travel!

I wouldn't say that month 7 has been uneventful, as my lack of news suggests. Quite the contrary, in fact. Lola has been quite the traveler this month. Right at the 7 month mark, we headed to Las Cruces to visit Gamma and Gampa because Gampa found himself in the ICU. We were hopful that Lola would be good medicine. Since he got out before we came back to Phoenix, we are assuming that she was!  We are very thankful for Auntie Sherri and her sweet girls, Kayla and Kenzie for helping out with Lola.  We discovered on this trip, to hope for a good diaper change BEFORE we get on a plane. As it is almost a given that one will happen on the plane if not before. And since I was by myself on the plane, it was quite a poopy comedy when we got off. Thank goodness for a roomy sink in the El Paso airport.  We're talking, out the diaper leg (we are switching back to Pampers when this box is empty!), out the onesie, down the leg of the tights and through the diaper cover. Fortunately, we had on lots of layers, or that would have been all over the plane! HA!  Live and learn!
We traveled to Waxahachie to Rodney's aunt's funeral. It was a very sad thing to have to do. Very nice to be able to go and be with family, though we didn't care for the circumstances. We were able to drive by the new Cowboy stadium, Texas stadium, our old house, and a short trip to Sam Moon's.  THAT was a treat! Got me a new purse and a new diaper bag. I could have spent longer in there, but it's not Rodney's thing, so we made it a short trip.
This past weekend was Wayland's homecoming. When I was in school, I LOVED homecoming! Getting all dressed up. It's sad to me that it isn't as big of a deal as it was when I was in school. So we got to see family and some old friends and see how much the campus has grown! WOW! Makes me want to go back to school!
Lola is growing and changing every day and it is such a joy to be able to be a part of her life. I was able to finally get her to laugh long enough to get some good video of it that is posted on the Shutterfly site. It's pretty funny and really makes my heart sing to hear it! She's a tough audience. Fortunately, there aren't video camera's on Rodney and I when we try to make her laugh!
