The road from Texas to North Carolina.....

or what could also be called my worst nightmare. You know your trip is not going to be good when Madison asks are we there yet at the corner of 1960 and West Lake Houston, which is about 3 minutes into a 20 hr drive. We made it about 2 hours before the real trouble started, Jack woke up crying, which scared Madison and she started crying, then Jack would calm down and Madison kept crying and Jack would start crying again. This went on for about 4 or 5 hours with few breaks from the crying. About the only time they were quite was when we stopped to calm everyone down but as soon as we got back in the car it started up again. This trip was truely a nightmare I did not think would ever end, but it was equally hard for Madison and Jack to straped into car seats for so long. Its a good thing we are moving here, because I would not get back in the car to come back to Texas after this trip. The good news is that we made it safe and sound.

The Last Play Date in Texas

Wednesday was our last play date in Texas. We went to Chuck E Cheese and as usual the girls had so much fun. Madison thought it was extra special because her friend Holland gave her a cabbage patch doll as a going away present, although Madison did not realize it was a going away present. She loves the doll, the hair changes colors when you touch it. We also got a framed picture of Madison and Amy from their first day of school, which had to go staight to the mantle for everyone to see. We will miss all our friends so much. She has been with this group since they were all one year old. And although the playgroups are great for the kids, they are also great for the moms and I have also made great friends that I will miss dearly.
