The trip to Oklahoma

We broke the 1400 mile trip into a couple of segments. First stopped over at Aunt Carron and Uncle Bill's on Friday night and Saturday morning. She loved her Aunt Carron and Uncle Bill! Her and Aunt Carron just had a grand old time playing and reading books and walking outside, it was a great visit!

Next we stopped over in Milton to stay with Grandmommi and Grandpoppi Enfinger for a few days. She had a little but of a rough time in the car but we made it safe and sound. She is such a happy baby, she was smiling at everyone and making happy noises and loved to be with her great grandparents.



We left on Tuesday morning and my wonderful Mother-in-law came up with the greatest plan ever for Cadence and handling the trip. We stopped at a restaurant and she asked them if we could have a back room were I could nurse. I then topped her off with a bottle and then Teri thought it might be good time to have her do tummy time. She played happily while we ate and then took our time and by the time she left she was a happy baby. She stayed that way for almost 3 hours! We needed to stop 2 times doing that until we got to Shreveport, which was the half way stop. We left the next morning and did the same routine and were able to make it to Oklahoma by 6pm. We were so excited to see Steve! Cadence just smiled at her daddy when she saw him. I am sad that I am away from my family and friends, but so happy to be with Steve again. I am also so grateful to Teri, I could not have made the trip without her, and it truly was quite a pleasant trip. I never thought I would say that about traveling such a far distance with a 5 month old but it truly was thanks to her.
