Trip to "Jack-ess"

A month ago for Labor Day Weekend, Brad and I took the girls to see the Greers in Jackson, MS ~ or as Alli calls it, "Jack-ess, Mississippi."
The trip over there was a long one, with Boots unhappy the majority of the trip, and we had to stop every 15-45 minutes for Alli to potty. It was a long day, but we knew it would be well worth it, and it certainly was! The picture above of Alli and Maddox proves that! They had a blast seeing each other again, and they had both been excited for days before we made the trip. Alli even had me make a chart to count down the days. I have a picture of it and will post it later, because it really was cute; however, I have "stolen" these pictures from Emily's blog, as I have not had the time to go through ours and doctor them before posting. Thanks, E!

We had such a great time, even though Boots ended up sick and teething while we were there. We were able to see the Greers' beautiful new home, Stephen's new office, and meet some of their sweet new friends & neighbors. Alli and Maddox slipped right back into their old routines of playing, eating, and having the occasional "no, mine!" argument. :) Emily and I were both happy to see them fall right back into place with each other. The trip back home was a better one; it only took the expected 8 hours, and since Boots wasn't feeling well, we gave her benadryl, which ended up being our saving grace. We had a great time and cannot wait for the Greers to visit in a couple of months!!

Boots got some good lovin' from Maddox, as well!
