Our Trip to Charlotte

We just arrived home from our trip to Charlotte yesterday. We all had a great time. Todd and I were both excited for everyone to meet Jocelyn for the first time. Jocelyn got to meet her Great Aunts Beth, Sally, and Jayne, her Great Uncles Dave and John, her second cousins Taylor, Kristen, Andrew, Nick, and Zach, as well as one of my best friends, Jennifer, and my parent's "other" grandchildren...the neighbor's kids. She did very well, and I think everyone who wanted to hold her got to do so. She is finally smiling at "strangers" more, so everyone got to see her beautiful smile (with those two little bottom teeth poking through).

Jocelyn traveled really well. Our trip down took 9 hours where it normally would only take 7, but we stopped twice for an hour each time. We just felt so guilty putting Jocelyn back into the car seat. While we were there she stayed on her regular routine and slept well (despite the teeth). We made better time on the way home because Jocelyn slept even more than on the way down.

On a side note, gas cost $4.09 a gallon...ridiculous!

My mom is the picture-taking queen. She captures some amazingly cute pictures of Jocelyn (for which I am very thankful). Here's one of my favorites:...And a couple more:I will update with family shots as soon as I get a chance to upload and when I get my mom's images.
