Chattanooga

A few weeks ago we made the long trek to Chattanooga. Our first stop was in Nashville where I got to see the Echerds and Barretts. Brett and Katherine once again let us stop and hang out at their house so the girls could get a much needed break from the car. Cindi also came over with her new little man Dalton. He was born just 10 days after Hannah Kate.

Once we got back in the car everyone took a much needed, although very short, nap.
Chattanooga was filled with seeing lots of family, being outside, and eating good food! My grandfather built the girls a sandbox which they loved. Being able to sit in the sand was a new experience. Jason and I (along with Nana) got a change to have some time with just Emma Jane and Parker which was wonderful. We went down to Coolidge Park, rode the merry go round 100 times, and Parker and Emma Jane got their very first ice cream cone from Clumpies. I have never seen Parker eat something with such focus and determination. She ate every single bite. It was hilarious.

(P.S. I have no idea why the pictures have decided to line up the way they are- but I don't feel like moving them).






She really is having fun, I promise.

This was also our first trip since the girls transitioned to big girl beds. I brought a bed for both girls, but they wanted to sleep together. This is the first time in their lives they have ever shared a bed. It was pretty cute!















We were able to see my brother's little girl, Lily, since Christmas. She had gotten so big! Here is a picture of all the cousins. Getting them to look in one direction was impossible.

Two overwhelmed babies :)
