We Made It!
So after 4+ weeks of staying inside (with the exception of stroller rides around the park or walks in the backyard) we decided to take Lexie to visit her family in Memphis/Mississippi for Memorial Day weekend. We took the trip down at night and she slept for most of the six hour drive... meaning little sleep for us once we got there :)
We stayed with Aunt Virginia in Memphis and surprise - Uncle Sammy was home for just a few days before shipping back to Iraq! We were so happy to see him and that he got to meet Lexie! I'm a little surprised he and Aunt Virginia didn't manage to steal her from us permanently! We were able to drive to Mississippi to see Grandma Juanita and several other family members; of course, everyone loved her!
We headed back today; this trip was a bit more tricky since Lexie was already a little cranky from being overstimulated. Overall she did pretty well although we did get a good demonstration of her now fully functional tear ducts! She was definitely happy to be back home and took a nice nap once we were back. Very successful first major outing!
