Michigan

In case you were wondering....I just got back from spending two weeks in Michigan, hence the uh no posts for forever. My sister/BFF's husband is going to med school there and they just had a sweet little baby girl, Aralea. She is little sister to my wonderful little nephew, Michael, whom I love with my whole heart and miss terribly. My mom, Haven and I flew up together and stayed for two weeks. We had sooo much fun and I cried when I had to say goodbye to my sister, we are closer than close, but I am happy to be back home. Being away from the husb for two weeks was painful and lets face it, I sleep horribly without him holding me.
Here's some pictures from the trip...

Looking out the airplane window.....I think it's sweet.

Look Grandma! I have a sticker on my hand! There were over 600 stickers in that book and she had to show almost all of them to Grandma.

Asleep on Grandma's lap....finally.

A note to all the airplane makers out there- please make sure EVERY airplane has individual TV's on the back of EVERY seat from now on.....could ya? thanks.

Here she is!! Aralea Marie Bowles. 6lbs 5oz. Beautiful as can be.

I miss holding her and feeding her and putting her to sleep. She is so sweet and perfect. Haven adored baby Lea. Every time the baby would cry, she would say "Baby cryin! Shh! Don cry...iss ok!" Michael and Haven = Best Friends Forever. These two became soo close while we were up there. They laughed and played all day. They even learned how to work out their differences, with toy sharing. It made me so happy to see my little darling having so much fun with her cousin.
Master Yoda and Princess Lea. Michael doesn't like getting his picture taken :) They had fun trick or treating together. goodness they are cute.

playin at the park for Michael's birthday. I love this picture. It looks like happiness to me.

Oh how I love this little girl.

I can't stop taking pictures of the little thing. She is so picture perfect to me.
