Our Texas Vacation

We recently went to TX for about three weeks to have Mike's PRK (Lasik) surgery done and to spend some time with his family. We had a great time when we finally got there, but the road trip there was NOT FUN at all. We had to stop about 10,000 times and Danica HATED the car. Julia did really well, but when it came time to head back to GA I was REALLY dreading it. It turned out just fine. I guess 3 weeks time makes a huge difference in a baby's life because Danica did AWESOME! The only time I was ready to cry was the last hour and a half of the trip because we were all so tired and ready to be in our own house! Here are some pictures of our trip and the fun things we did. Hope you enjoy them! Mike caught these two Crappie the last night we were at his Nana's house. (Post PRK)
We stopped at a Bass Pro Shop store on the way home and this was Julia's favorite seat!

Danica Joyce Partain is HERE!
















Our beautiful baby girl was born on the 8th of January, 2009 @ 1231 am and weighed 6lbs 2oz and was 18 inches long. She's the light of our lives and her big sister is absolutely AMAZED by her. I'm so happy that Julia has taken to her as if she's been here forever. It's like she was meant to be here...lol. Anyway, here are some pictures of the new peanut...and of the proud family/big sissy.
