The Big Trip to OKC!

On Friday the three of us took off for a long weekend getaway to Oklahoma City to visit old friends and play a little bit. We stayed at a bed and breakfast that was nice, except that they had this giant bird... anyone who knows me well knows how I feel about birds! Anyway, we had a great time with the Carr and Brown families. Lilly had a wonderful time playing with Areta (3.5), Honor (almost 2), and Charis (7 months).

Here's Lilly and her friend, Areta, in the rocking chair.
Here's Honor, saying "hello."

This is Charis and her mommy, Jana.

We had a wonderful time, until we were on our way back to the B&B. That's when Lilly got very, VERY sick! Our poor little girl (and her poor parents) were up all night with a nasty stomach virus. This was Lilly's first stomach bug, so we weren't nearly prepared for how bad it would be. And being away from home didn't help! Finally about 3am, Lilly was done being sick and was able to sleep. Of course, she still felt the need to get up at 7am! Since we weren't sure whether or not she was contageous, we knew we couldn't go visit more friends... especially the kiddos and the preganant friends! So we decided to come on home a day and a half early. Bummer! Fortunately, Lilly has bounced back quickly, thanks to lots of prayers from our community group family. We took it easy last night and watched the Giants beat Green Bay. Lilly was happy to cheer for which ever team was scoring! I hear cheering on the TV, so I stood up and cheered, too! Oh, and I learned to take my pants off all by myself!!!

This is the "Mommy hold me!" face.
