Road Trip to Albuquerque

Well Brad had his 20 year high school reunion and we decided to head down to NM for the great American road trip! So we pack ourselves, our 4 year old and our 8 month old into the minivan (Jack had a trip to Michigan with his dad planned) and drove for 2 days, stayed in Albuquerque for 2 days and drove back for 2 days. What were we thinking?! Well it was fun, none the less. To add to the adventure, while in NM we picked up our 2 nieces and Brad's cousin and brought them home with us!

We had a great time visiting with Grandma Tutu and Granddad, and Laura and Chris (Brad's sister and brother in law). The reunion was fun too. A bit exhausting for me, as I knew only 2 people and had only talked to them at our wedding and one other time. But for Brad it was fun to see where people were at and what God was doing in their lives.

We were so happy to be home and fall into bed, and put Issie in her crib. There is no place like home. Here are some shots from the trip, this blog is really helping me to better document these times. Me and my man, headed out without the kids! Brad and his best friend Dave, so good to reconnect! Brad and Laura ( his sister, my best friend, the way we met) Having fun, 2 days of 12 hours in the car, thank goodness for portable DVD players!
