Ella and Bennett: Atlanta!

I get the Net Saver weekly emails from AA and usually quickly delete them but two weeks ago one caught my eye. I saw a really cheap fare to Atlanta and forwarded it to Chris and he said I should definitely take the kids to see my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins. I love my family and spending time with them and Ella definitely loves them too. However, I then started to think about everything I was going to have to lug to the airport along with two little ones and wasn't sure if I'd be able to do it by myself. Chris resassured me that I could! Then one of my sweet friends told me that I could rent baby equipment. Who knew? I googled it and found travelbabees. I made a call and the day before we arrived two car seats, pack-n-play and high chair were delivered. Oh my gosh, that was a life saver and worth every penny!! I was a little worried about the trip because both kids had ear infections but I was prepared with a charged DVD player, gum, Motrin (children's and infant), formula, earache drops and baby toys. After being asked no less than 50 times if it was time to watch a movie the time had come to pull out the DVD player and guess what? The battery charged all night but the power button was bumped to ON so the battery drained! Thankfully there were no tears...new glitter crayons to the rescue with the new Barbie and the Diamond Castle coloring book! We made it! The kids were great on the flight.

Atlanta was fun! We spent the weekend with the family hanging out and playing. It was so nice to see my grandparents and introduce them to Bennett. I know they really enjoyed the visit. Everyone seemed to enjoyed having the little ones around. My cousins, Nathan and Kelsey, are both so sweet and great with kids. Ella was in heaven playing with Kelsey and wanted her by her side at all times! Kelsey was such a good sport, especially since she's 13! Nathan is 16 but you'd think he's older by his actions. He's such a care taker. He'd make Ella breakfast and as soon as Bennett would wake from a nap he'd run upstairs to get him. He's going to be a great dad one day.....a long time from now. :) It was a great trip even though it was quick and we were sick. We are so thankful to my aunt and uncle for opening up their home and letting us take over!
