On our way to visit family and friends in Washington

Brody's first night away from home - we stayed in
St. Regis on the border of Idaho and Montana to split up the 12 hour drive.
Our little cabin wasn't anything to write home about:) but it was shelter from the rain.

Brody and Daddy hanging out Burping in the front seat along the way!

We thought the car was packed on the way there! Holy cow it was so full on the way home!

Brody and his pacifier:)

I hung out with Brody in the back seat!!

Tony drove the whole way there and Spooner was his co-pilot!

Meeting Annika and Nick on our way back to Montana

I am so glad we were able to see Annika, Nick and Che on our way out of town! Luna Cafe on West Seattle is a great place - fun atmosphere and good food. BUT the company was better! How I love this little family!!! Thanks Ahnie for being flexible!!!!

There is nothing more special and heart melting for me then to see my parents with my little man.

I am truly one lucky girl:) and so is little Brody Cole:)
