Well, we are back home...we rolled in around 1:30am today, our 12.5 hour trip ended up taking closer to 15.5 with stops for the dog, baby and meeting our great friends Greg and Christa in Albuquerque for a few brief minutes...then it was onto cleaning up dog puke and pee...I'll stop there. We had hoped to visit the Treat family while we drove through but things just didn't go as planned, so hopefully next time. The Treats have sweet Abel, who we got to meet and visit when we picked up Sakari last January. We are still pretty wiped from the trip, but overall the trip was great and our kiddo and puppy did very well! Thank you, Lord for the Little Einsteins...Sakari LOVES them! She goes...pat, pat, pat, pat, etc...and then puts her arms up in the air and yells "Blast off!" It's amazing - we love that she loves the classical music, the rhythm and animals.
During our last few days in NM, Sakari got her first haircut from Becca's Aunt Jody. Earlier that day, Becca flat ironed Sakari's hair and it's soooo long! We've posted some pics of the haircut and the straightened hair. We had to go and buy a luggage carrier to make sure we could fit all of the stuff we either bought or were given. I've also posted a pic of myself and Jack outside of the coffee house in Bernallio, NM on our way home - by the way, it's not just a funny pic...it's really good coffee!
We are home sweet home...and soon we will be asleep sweet asleep!

LOL...we've had some crazy road trips, too...one time we decided to drive all the way from Great Falls, Montana to Phoenix with only gas/food/potty stops...yeah...we'll NEVER do something like that again. Eben was a trooper, but he's not much of a car sleeper even in the middle of the night, so we were all just exhausted - and this was before we had a dvd player for the car (which has been a recent development for us despite loads of road trips every, single year...yep, we were insane not to do it sooner...though Eben still turns it off a lot to read books or play...guess he got used to doin' car trips old school!)
Glad you guys made it home safely & had such a great trip! Rest up! Happy New Year!!!

Love the hair photos!!! They are so cute!
I'm loving that coffee shop. Not enough to make a road trip that long, but maybe.
Sakari's hair is so long! Hate to say it, but she's looking very much like a little girl and not a baby anymore. :(
