5/12/08 - Well, we took our first big trip with Ella this weekend to go visit Dan's family near Erie, PA. The trip usually takes about 4.5 hours, but with Ella it took about 5.5 with two stops to feed her (not too bad!). She always loved riding in the truck, so needless to say, she was asleep almost the entire trip to and from with the exception of when she would wake up with her tummy growling.
Our first stop was in Bradford to meet Ella's new little cousin (born Wednesday, May 7th!), Lydia Grace. We had a nice visit with the new Mommy and Daddy, Maria & Chad (Dan's oldest sister and husband), and then we were off to see another new baby...
Little RJ was next on our list (Jim & Kelly's new foster baby (- Dan's cousins)) and boy was he a cutie! It's hard to believe that babies can be as small as Lydia and RJ, but I guess I'm spoiled with little "meat & potatoes" Mokwa :) RJ was born at 14oz (yes, that's right, just 14oz!) so he is still on the oxygen and apnea moniters, but that didn't stop me from holding the little guy and playing with him in his bouncy chair!
Lastly, we were off to the farm to meet Great Gramma & Grampa Wright, along with Uncle Dicky, Uncle Russ, Cousin Lisa, Cousin Dave, little Noah as well as many others.
All in all, it was a great trip and Ella was a great passenger :) No spitting up during the drive, only one big poop and only tears when she was hungry.
