A Thousand Miles in Five Days
posted August 31st, 2007 by Shannon
Technically it was 933.4 miles, but that’s close enough for me. Fifteen hours. By myself. With the kid(s).
I drove to my parent’s house and dropped the older 2 kiddos off. Then up to my sister’s house to meet my new niece for the very first time. Then back home, stopping by my in-laws house to spend the night. I returned home earlier today with 24 hours left to get ready for H’s first birthday party tomorrow. My little sister, a third child herself, volunteered to make a cake after learning that little H just might end up with a bought (not homemade) cake this year.
We also have some very exciting news to announce…………. G’s schedule is changing next week! The new change should give us enough time to catch up on life and even have some time left over for fun … and blogging! This month has dragged on so slowly and it seemed that next week would never come. But it’s finally here – and in the next 9 days, G only has to go to his office for 2 of them. We are SO excited!
Speaking of little H, she’s awake now. I need to get back to picking up and cleaning the house before it gets bombarded with family members in town for H’s party. Look for more frequent posts in the coming months.

What a long trip. I know it is not always fun to travel with kids but I know it was worth it to meet Ashlyn.
We are so sad to miss Hannah’s birthday party today. I know it will be fun.
More to come – Yay!
