travellin'

so we just got back from my first real road-trip....an 800-mile trip up to missouri in lieu of a long drive over thanksgiving...i handled it pretty good, i think. we left last wednesday, spent the night in tulsa, then drove some more on thursday...i only cried for about 15 minutes, when it first got too dark to see who was in the back seat with me. that trip wasn't so bad, breaking it into two days...but then, on the way back, daddy drove straight through for 14 hours...daddy is so crazy sometimes...i whimpered a bit during the last couple of hours, but for the most part, i slept. had mommy and daddy both pretty nervous...they didn't think i'd sleep that night, but i slept fine.

anyway, it was a pretty fun trip. i saw grandma and uncle tim again, met my great grandparents (the ones on daddy's daddy's side are 96! that's 384 times older than me!), met some first-cousins-once-removed, some second-cousins, some great-aunts-and-uncles, and at least one great-great-aunt...really, the relationship complexity has gone way beyond the point where even mommy and daddy can tell me how i'm related to all of 'em....

naturally, daddy took some photos on the trip....we counted yesterday, and he's taken over 1000 photos since the day i was born...no wonder flashing lights don't seem to bother me any more...

here i am, getting ready to meet everyone...
