The past few weekends have been very busy in the Prentice household. Two weeks ago we visited my hometown of Flora, I attended a Mom's conference last weekend, and this weekend we visited Chad's hometown of Macomb. We find travel difficult, or at least more trying, than before we had Meredith. It just seems like there is so much "stuff" we need to bring for her, even though we rarely use all of the toys and extra outfits we pack! These trips were made easier with our new minivan; It allows us to bring even more "stuff" with us without cramping our space. Because of the difficulty of travel and the fact that both of our families live in different towns (opposite directions in the state, as well), we don't make it back home very often.
Here are some of the highlights of our trips:
- Meredith had a chance to get down and play with Grandma and Grandpa Perry's cat, Miss Gray. Right after this picture, Miss Gray took a swat at Meredith, so that was the end of cat time.
- Meredith had a chance to play the piano for the first time. I hope to one day be able to give her lessons, that is, until she surpasses my very basic piano skills.
- Meredith had another first in Flora - she used the swing for the first time at the playground. Can you tell she loved it?
- Here is Meredith with Grandpa Perry. I wonder if this is where she gets her blue eyes from...
- Meredith likes to "spit" back and forth (making funny sounds) with Grandpa Prentice:
- Chad and I feel so blessed that Meredith has several Great-grandparents still with us:
 |
| Grandma Perry, Mommy, Meredith, and Great-Grandma Reed |
 |
| Meredith and Great-Grandma Perry |
|
 |
| Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma Prentice (Great-Grandpa Prentice's 92nd birthday party) |
 |
| Meredith, Great-Grandpa Ross, Daddy, and Grandma Prentice |
Overall, we had a great time visiting family and we loved this unseasonably warm March weather.
