Visiting "Home Home" Part I

The past 2 weeks Campbell and I went "home home" to Alabama. The time flew by...so quickly that the night before we were supposed to fly back to WA, I changed our flight and we stayed home an extra week! It was so much fun and so nice to spend time with family and friends, go to our church, eat home cooked meals (gain 5 pounds), and see my sweet, precious Maggie!!!

Campbell and I took a red eye home, and she did SUPER. She slept the entire flight, and mommy did not sleep one wink!!! We got into ATL at 6:30 CT where Ticer and JJ greeted us! They were so glad to see us (Campbell). We surprised Nana, Mammy and Paw Paw. They had NO CLUE we were coming home, and they were all beyond thrilled! From the moment we stepped out of the car until the time we flew back to WA we were constantly on the go. Here is the 1st week in pics. We did so much, and there was so much I wanted to include that I will break it into 2 posts!

We went to the Museum Grand Opening:

Campbell ate her 1st rib bone We went to the Event Center in downtown Opelika. It is the old Coca Cola Bottling Company, and Mammy retired from there. Campbell rode a pony for the 1st time We ate LOTS of watermelon! She played in the water at the fountain downtown waiting on Adam Hood, Brad Cotter and Dallas Dorsey to sing. Campbell had her 1st frozen banana, thanks to big daddy, and she made a MESS! Spent lots of time with Ca Ca and Trey LOVED and tortured Mags!!! Our sweet, precious, beautiful Raleigh was dedicated to our Lord Campbell cut the grass with Big Daddy and loved it She attended our "Bachelorette/Chick Fil A" party at Mammy's She and Jackson loved and shared NyNene We spent time with cousin Jackson and cousin Landon too. We went to Summer Swing and played with Raleigh and they both ate! We visited Dr. Smalley and Mrs. Jackie for Campbell's 9 month checkup Tatty came to visit us and we were so HAPPY to see her We went swimming with Raleigh, Aunt Aggie, Sissy and JJ

Campbell destroyed JJ's flowers Nanny and Maw-Maw came to visit We had a GREAT 1st week at "home home!" Stay tuned for week 2!!!

We did some swimming and spent LOTS of time together as a family!!! It was great to relax and be a "normal" family for 3 days!!! Now back to baseball! Keep us in your prayers over the next 2 months!!!

FUN SUNNY DAYS

We have been enjoying beautiful, sunny, WARM Washington weather for the past week, and boy has it been great! We have spent LOTS of time at the pool. Campbell LOVES to be outside and LOVES the water even more! She has not been in the water since Spring Training, so it has been neat to watch how much different she is now! She is so much more alert and wants to do so many things. Our apartment complex has an infinity pool, so Campbell literally crawls into the water. She enjoys kicking her feet, like a little fish, and she blew bubbles with her daddy for the 1st time today!!! All Star Break begins after tomorrow's game. I sure hope this warm, sunny weather sticks around!!!
Going for the dirt...she loves it!!!

Walking into the pool with Daddy!
Learning to blow bubbles!
After the 1st day at the pool I put her in her walker to watch Einstein so I could take a shower. I got out and found this:
Isn't that pitiful? It broke my heart! Needless to say, now Campbell gets in her bed before mommy gets in the shower!!!
