Yes, it's true... that is how many hours Julia slept last night! When we woke up at 8:00 and she had been asleep since 10:00 pm, we sat there for a good 15 minutes trying to remember if I had fed her in the middle of the night and just didn't remember it! But, either I was in a coma when I fed her, or she officially slept through the night last night for the first time! Hooray!! This is one happy mama today!!
Other than that, Julia survived her first long road trip, all the way to California. She survived for about 8 hours pretty happily, but then her patience ended and she was not a happy camper! The trip that normally takes us about 9 or 10 hours took about 12, so Julia definitely adds to the length of the trip, but we all survived and we are safely and happily back in Utah!
We were in California for Mathew's (my brother) homecoming. He returned from serving in Japan, Fukuoka, and I am so proud of him! We had a really nice time, and Julia spent many hours being held by all three of her great grandparents! It was great to be with so much family, especially since that is the last driving trip to California that we will take for a while!
Other than that things are good with us. We are slowly but surely packing, switching utilities into our name in Texas, and we even bought couches yesterday! We are looking forward to starting a new phase of our life in Texas, although as the days are passing quickly we are remembering all the things that we are going to miss about living in Utah!
Well, here are some recent pictures:
Julia's new toy
She loves it... can't you tell?? Really, she does though! :)
Aunt Stephanie!
Driving home from California was such a treat with a baby! :)
Every time we took Julia out of her car seat she would arch her back like there was no tomorrow! We are such mean parents to strap her into a torture chamber for hours! (don't call CPS, I'm just talking about the car seat!)
Devin's trying to instill a love of golf at a young age.
Devin, Michael and Stephanie had fun golfing, even though it was about 110 degrees!!
