Our Visit to Owensboro

Friday after school, Ella, Kermie and I loaded our stuff into the wagon and headed to Owensboro for the weekend!  We were all so very excited to see Emmie Kate (and Lysnie and Robert of course)!

We ended up getting there around 7:30 0ur time which meant 6:30 their time.  It's nice getting that extra hour.  Ella slept almost the entire way there which was very nice and meant she was able to mingle longer :)  We ate dinner as soon as we arrived and took a tour of their very beautiful house.  Lynsie has it decorated very cute!  I'm pretty sure I told Kermie at least 5 times "I need one of these too"!

And let me just tell you Emmie is absolutely adorable and so is her nursery!  She has a full head of black hair, tan skin, Robert's eyes, and Lynsie's nose and mouth.  She is the tiniest thing and makes the cutest sounds ever!  It was wonderful getting to hold her and watching Ella interact.  I was actually very proud of Ella because she was much more gentle than I thought she would be.    

I think Ella enjoyed the trip more than anyone!  She showed off the majority of the time, followed Robert around the house, begged Lynsie for suckers, had fun times with Brayden, and was overall a very good girl.  I so wish we lived closer than we do.  It was nice getting to catch up and watch Robert and Lynise embrace parenthood so well.  They both seem to be enjoying their new role as mommy and daddy so much and you can tell Emmie is enjoying her mommy and daddy too!

We have planned to go back in the very near future!   Hopefully the next time we go there will be more sunny weather and swimming suits on! :)

We need one of those!
He could not wait to get a hold of her!

I love her so much!
