November 2011

So, I have a little catching up to do. Nothing like a little maternity leave to check things off of your to do list. Obviously my memory is a little shady, but I will do my best. We traveled to Birmingham twice during the month of November. The first trip was for Aunt Laura and baby Ashley's baby shower. The trip was short and quick, but we managed to fit in a little fun. On Saturday my parents took Olivia and I to Disney on Ice. She had a blast and was mesmerized for two hours. She ate enough junk food for everyone, but that's what special treats with grandparents are for.

Sunday I traveled to Tuscaloosa for the shower. I did a quick tour of the town to view the damage from the tornado. The town that I love so much and lived in for the greater part of seven years will forever be changed. It was devastating to see the town ripped to pieces, but amazing to see the rebuilding that had already begun. Laura's baby shower was beautiful and so much fun. I had a ton of fun helping out, and meeting her extended family and friends.

Our second trip was for Thanksgiving. Olivia had a blast playing with her cousins, and we enjoyed catching up with family.
