Surprisingly we only stopped once! We arrived a little after 11 o'clock, saw baby Amelia, and held her for the first time!!! We visited Springfield about a month after she was born but she was in the NICU because she was born at 28 weeks. At that time we were only allowed to touch her little hands (and I mean little). It was so awesome and amazing to see how much she has grown and how God has protected her this entire time. She truly is a miracle! She now weighs over 8 lbs!!!
Saturday morning we woke up and Ryan, Curt, and I went and hit some golf balls, they attempted the batting cages, and we played some tennis. After that we headed home to eat some lunch and then the whole gang (Curt's parents and grandma were also visiting!) headed to the park for a little walk and some ice cream! The walk was so enjoyable, but it did start to get a little hot--and I was starting to smell really bad. The fam was nice enough to tell me that they didn't smell me, but I don't think I believed them--I could smell myself! We took showers, played some cards and then headed to dinner at a local pizza place! The pizza was deep dish and super delicious!
Sunday morning we woke up, cuddled with Amelia for a while and then headed to lunch at a new local restaurant. After we ate we went to Scheels (it is like a mix between Dick's and Bass Pro). Curt was in heaven! This place was huge and like a little town inside--it even had a ferris wheel inside that you could ride! We then headed back and had to load up to start our drive back home. It was so much fun getting to hang with Curt's family. We haven't seen them in a while and it was so great to visit and spend time together!
Amelia is the best little baby! She just trooped around everywhere we went and of course slept a lot! But she is soooo precious! We miss her already and can't wait to travel to Springfield again so we can cuddle some more! Love us some baby Amelia!

| This is my fav pic of the entire trip! This is how you have your surgeon dad trim your fingernails--of course put on your surgeon gear to have a better look. I was honored to be his nurse to assist with the procedure! The procedure was a success--Amelia slept thru the entire thing :) |
