a long drive


We are returning from a long drive over to Idaho...to be quite honest, Olivia has exceeded our expectations with the car ride. She mostly slept, in between feedings and diaper changes at random truck stops!


We traveled over to celebrate the marriage of our two friends Josh and Molly Hodges. We attended a special Hawaiian themed reception reflecting their wedding which took place on the sandy beaches of Hawaii on 8/8/08 and 8:08am! We enjoyed the gathering and consider our selves blessed to see this new family come together!


We also had an opportunity to spend some time with other college friends who are still located in the area. Saturday night we shared dinner with the Torrez, Boothby and Hocker families, the adults tried to carry on conversation as all 6 children chased each other through the house. Olivia was a bit overwhelmed at all the commotion and energy, someday that will be her!


Sunday, before heading home, we stopped in Caldwell to visit the Benedick family. We shared a few pizzas and did some catching up!


All in all the trip went fast but was very refreshing! We enjoyed seeing friends and just wish we could have had more time with everyone. We are also proud of how well Olivia did, she is a little traveler already!
