For the first time in my life, I accumulated enough airline miles to fly somewhere for free! I decided to go to Texas and visit my sister after having her new baby. I had a lot of layovers, but other than a couple uncomfortable hours with a very sore back, being 6 months pregnant and traveling alone wasn't as hard as it could have been. Plus the trip was worth it, so thank you Lissa and Jason for letting me visit!
I looooved holding Savannah. She is so precious and tiny and she loved being curled up next to anyone with a heartbeat for her to fall asleep to. Poor Lissa though, now that all the help has left, Savannah won't sleep without being held.

| I love how she curls up her legs and sticks up her little bum! |

One night I was there, we celebrated Savannah's 0th birthday. If you know me, you know that I'm very good at making up reasons to celebrate...especially when there is dessert involved.

| Kiera helping me bake a cake. After about 3 stirs, she declared it was ready for the oven! |
 |
| Savannah slept through her own party! Luckily her big sister helped blow out the candle. I just don't think the party would have been as memorable if we hadn't of worn the party hats!!! |
When I wasn't hangin' out with the nieces, I was sewing...and sewing...and, well, reading books too. It was sure nice to get things done with my mom's sewing wisdom and help. I made lots more bibs (and fixed a couple of my first ones) and made a car seat cover, which I love! Mom was busily sewing Savannah's blessing dress, and Kiera wanted to sew too. She kept busy by cutting fabric scraps and 'organizing' the pin cushion over and over. :)

| The cute girl and the beautiful dress! |
 |
| The happy family. Well, by this point Savannah was already tired of the paparazzi. |
 |
| The girls - I just love Kiera's face in this one. Kiera is wearing a dress my mom made for Lissa when she was little. |
 |
| Sometimes when I'd hold Savannah, my baby would go to town kicking her. I hope she was trying to bond with her cousin, not trying to fight her! :) |

| Babies are so cute when they're all rolled up like a burrito! |
Although Russ and I missed each other and talked a lot of the phone, while I was gone he went to movies, played golf, hung out with his brother who came to town, hung out with my brother, washed the car, and had a regular "guys weekend" (not a 'boys' weekend, he said, but 'GUYS').

She's so cute! I love all her hair! I wonder if your little girl will have hair like that! I'm jealous that you got to "practice" with a baby before yours comes haha. Cute!
We're so glad you came to visit! It was a lot of fun.
Both my sister's babies have had tooons of hair. I'm not counting on getting that lucky - I pretty much figure those 2 little girls stole all the hair from the other future grandkids.
