We're Home

We made it back from MS last night and had a wonderful trip. My daddy ended up coming with us yesterday so we wouldn't have to drive it by ourselves. He has wanted to ride the train for a while so Glenn got up early this morning to take him to Atlanta to hop on Amtrak. He should be arriving in MS within the next 30 minutes. We are so grateful for him doing this, as I don't think I could've made the trip back by myself. Emily didn't sleep at all until we got to Geneva, GA which is about an hour away from home. When she doesn't sleep it makes the trip even harder. We watched movies and that definitely helped. I know I'm SO against it, but I don't think that 2 movies one time is going to hurt Emily. Here is a detailed "diary" of the past week we spent in MS. Hope you all had a great week last week and will have a great week.

Playing "Happy Birthday" for Mamaw and Papaw Costilow, he's 86 and she's 83

In my uncle John's chicken house. These chickens are only 2 days old. He has 12 houses!!! WOW, it was quite interesing...makes it hard to eat chicken now! Each house has 28,000 chickens in it (to start with, some die though)
Daddy, Emily, me and Mamaw Alford. Four generations. We visited her on Wednesday afternoon.
Emily and Papaw with their shorts and boots on...too cute. She had picked an eggplant and some flowers
Watching the train go by in my Mamaw and Papaw's back yard in Newton, MS. Emily LOVES the trains. Yes, it is a huge drop off that we're standing beside, but we didn't let Emily down out their.
