Nice that Tyler gets a few different perspectives of what weddings can be , sounds like you'll be able to visit with everyone there, since it's so small. Hope you have a wonderful time.
Samantha's dad is picking them all up at the hospital and bringing them to my house, it will be such a long day at work tomorrow, I want to be home!!
I have to admit being a sci fi buff, I thought they have named her after the Firefly ship!!
I just love this picture because it's so sweet that she still wants to hold your hand!
It usually takes 8 hours, but that's with just stopping a couple of quick times for bathroom breaks and a quick meal & stretch. It will be interesting to see how long it takes with Tyler. Wish me luck! Well, the wedding isn't until 7pm, so we'll still have plenty of time to get there. 
Ugggghhh......557 miles each way!!! Last couple of times Tyler and I went to TN to visit my brother, we rode with my dad and stepmom and I dozed on and off the whole drive. LOL! I used to be able to drive straight the whole way, but I was 10 years younger last time I did that. Now I have trouble driving to my dad's house about 80 miles away!
Oh, I've done it myself many times. I have no problem with it, but if I were 5 years old, I doubt I'd be able to sit still that long. So I'm thinking we might have to stop at least twice for Tyler to run around a bit. He's already got a bunch of stuff planned that he wants to take with him to keep busy in the car, and I have a few new things that he doesn't know about yet that will give him something new to occupy him, but we can only fit so much in our little car.
But I've told him it that the same amount of time he spends all day at school, that's how long he'll be sitting in the car. He was a bit shocked, but seems to be up for the challenge. 
Fortunately he's not 2 years old and at that screaming age!

I know! I'm not thrilled about the drive with him. At all! That's the part I'm needing good luck wishes for.
I told him we'll bring the DVD player for sure. I think I can strap it onto the back of the seat in front of him. We just don't use it very often....I think 2 times in the 2 years I've had it, but I'll find a way to rig it up for him. And he's already selected movies he wants to bring, so that should help. 
And he'll have the excitement of staying at Uncle Mike's with the whole family.
It will be a fun trip because Tyler's really looking forward to swimming in my brother's pool. And I'm hoping on our way back home, when we're not worried about getting anywhere by a certain time, that we might find a cave to explore since there are tons around, especially in KY. I love Mammoth Cave and think Tyler'd be in awe, but I can't remember how far off of I-75 it is. Too tired to check a map tonight. Will check tomorrow. And there might be something closer to I-75 too.
OK....I'm REALLY headed to bed now! So much for my plans of getting plenty of sleep!

Indeed, we are leaving at 5am because I'm hoping he'll just fall right back asleep, provided his dad doesn't wake him up fully before I pick him up. However, last time I tried that trick, it failed miserably because he stayed awake from excitement about our trip!
Then he was a grouch until bedtime! I'd really love to start driving at 3 or 4am, just because that way I KNOW he'd fall back asleep, but his dad already grumbled about him having to get up before 5 on a weekend for me to pick Tyler up. I told him if it's easier, I can pick Tyler up at 9pm after class the night before, but he didn't want to have to keep him up so late. So....it is what it is and we'll make the best of it, as always. 
Thanks....I'll check it out tomorrow....I know if I go there now, I'll probably spend an hour or so checking everything out with excitement!
Although I may not post as much as a lot of you, I try to read as often as I can, and am amazed at how generous and kind you all are to one another. So, where generally in life I have learned to be a little careful what I share with others, simply to protect myself from hurtful comments and judgements, I have decided to share with you what has been one of the most joyous days of my life.
Today I became the grandmother to the most beautiful baby girl
At 9:25 AM , Serenity was born weighing 8lbs 14 oz.
You may remember my daughter was married in May. Well, two days later, my son (who moved to another province in Feb) informed me that his girlfriend, who still lives here, was pregnant and expecting in Sept. We have had a few tough months. His girlfriend, Samantha (yes, yet another Samantha! ) and him planned to move her out to where he is after the baby was born. She is young and scaredOne day she wants to move, the next she wants to stay here, how hard to have a new baby and move half way across the country where there are no friends or family. She does not have a mom around which just makes this harder. So my son took some time off work and came home a couple of weeks ago and Samantha has moved in with me for now. And finally, a week late (after being told by the doctors she was definately going to be early
