Busy Times

Well, its been awhile since we've posted anything. We've been busy traveling and relaxing. Over Thanksgiving we drove up to Chicago to spend the week with Kevin's family. It was a great time seeing everyone. Meghan even got to play in snow for her first time! She loved it. She tried to help shovel snow in the driveway and really seemed to enjoy herself. We extended our time in Illinois an extra day due to the snow.

We knew we couldn't make it to Maryland in one day so the plan was to drive to Pittsburgh and stop at the Children's Museum. This would give Meghan a chance to get some energy out after a long day in the car. The drive took a little longer than we thought, between pit stops and snow flurries, but we got to the museum about an hour before they closed. It would have been nice to spend more time there, but we made the most of the hour we had.

Our trip to Maryland was busy. We met Adrian Cronauer, the deejay portrayed by Robin Williams in "Good Morning Vietnam." Spent some time with friends watching the Army-Navy game. The big reason we went to Maryland was for Stacy's nephew's baptism. We were asked to be Andrew's godparents so it was pretty important that we be at the Christening. Meghan had fun playing with her other cousins, but wasn't happy seeing her parents holding another baby. (We'll get into that in another posting.)

All in all, Meghan did great on the trip. She had some trouble sleeping in so many different places but didn't seem to mind the long hours in the car. We did watch "Cinderella" about 5 times, which has now become Meghan's favorite movie. She thinks all Disney princesses are Cinderella.
