And We're Off....




Well we made it to MN!! It was such a long trip, but I was the best traveler. We finally got to the airport in MN and found my auntie at the baggage claim. I don't think we look that bad after traveling for soooo long....






My auntie thought I looked a little "rough". Did she think I was going to show up looking as cute as ever when I am tired, hungry and sick? Well they all decided I was sick enough to take me to the Dr. The ER wait was suppose to be 15 minutes at the place where auntie works, guess what....we were there 2 hours!! You'd think auntie would have had enough pull to get us seen a little quicker. Oh well it was worth it, I have been on antibiotics for 3 days now for the start of an ear infection, and some fluid in my lung and I feel so much better.





Here I am heading outside into the MN cold for the first time...it never made it above 10 degrees the whole time I was there. I have no idea how my auntie lives there, maybe she will move to TX? Or at least visit a lot!









After some medicine, a good night's sleep, and some food I was starting to get back to my "normal" self! Auntie or "Jess" as I like to call her gave me a bath and a new hairstyle, she was kind of obsessed with my hair that day.....


...she even trimmed my bangs so they weren't hanging in my eyes anymore. At first I wasn't sure what she was doing, but now I can see so much better and they don't tickle my eyes and nose any more. Mommy is not so sure about auntie's cutting skills.





I spent most of my time in MN playing, exploring aunties house and all of her nonkid things, cuddling and watching a movie, eating, shopping at the Mall of America (it is ridiculous how big this place is and everything they have), seeing my great aunt and uncle Dan and Darcy (Darcy is so much fun, we became pals) and shopping at Target (great stuff there). Mommy and daddy got new phones to talk on and they even have the Internet. It is great we can look lots of things up!







Well we spent an extra day in MN because of this crazy weather they have! It was so cold and snowy they had to close the interstate in MN and SD. I was bummed because I was heading to see my cousins in SD. We watched closely and the roads finally opened up on Friday afternoon, so we headed out. I am not sure how all of these road trips are going to go, but I got a movie player for the car and some movies, snacks, books and my blankie and so far this is the way to travel.....


I am not sure where Daisy is going to sit?



I can't wait to see everyone! It might be next week late or that Monday (the 18th) before mommy can update the blog again because of all of this traveling, so be patient because I know I am going to have great stories to tell after all of these adventures...




On the road! Oh and don't worry daddy is a great driver...see you soon!!





Hugs and Kisses


Maddy, Shaye and Jody (disclaimer....auntie had to write this post)

You did a great job Jessica - what fun pictures. They were worth the wait! Glad you trimmed her bangs :-), she was getting shaggier than Daisy!

Love the pictures of Maddy!! I can't wait to see pictures of the new house! We miss you in England. Give Maddy a big hug and kiss from us. The kids talk about her all the time. I think Darius really misses her. Talk to you soon.
