North

The little kids, Mom and I travelled up north yesterday to see the aunt, uncle and cousins.  Audrie just loves her cousins so much.  She played and played and played.  It was the little man's first time meeting them.  He wasn't too sure about Uncle Isaac, but loved Aunt Treva.  Both the little kids were completely wiped out by the time we got home.  It is a long drive and Audrie stayed awake the whole drive home.
It kind of felt like I have been slacking.  I usually take Audrie up about every other month to see her cousins.  It is important to me.  Even more so since her local cousins have been taken away from her.  We haven't been up there since Oct.  We did see them in Dec. when they came down.  And Audrie did go up north with Nana Nita in Feb. so she is still on schedule, just feels like I'm slacking.  The trip takes a little more planning now with the little man.
We had a great visit.  And Mom so enjoyed meeting Isaac and Treva and was highly impressed with the very smart cousins.  I really like those Clay folks and am so glad they are part of our family.
