Sneaking up to Georgia

Wondering if we're still alive? I know! Where, oh where did we go? I feel like I was withholding information for sooo long and it's great to finally let it out...We're in Atlanta for the weekend! A few weeks back I decided to surprise my mom (since she has not seen her #1 girl in a month, the longest she's ever gone!) for a few days. On Wednesday, Reese and I loaded up, headed to West Palm airport and hopped a flight to Atlanta. Reese was awesome on the plane, really entertaining to the elderly on our flight. Donna & Chelsea (co-conspirators) picked us up and Reese was a serious entertainer in their car. Then, we did some undercover driving to buy time until mom got home. Finally, we parked on the end of mom's street and Reese and I ran up to her front step. I rang the doorbell and hid (leaving my confused child as the annoying doorbell ringer) but the only person who showed up was Rookie! He was VERY excited. Mom was in the backyard! What timing? Seriously. She ran around front and Reese flew across the front yard squealing "GIGI!!" It was amazing. My Dad (also involved) came over a few minutes later and Reese was happy to see Papa too. Not to make my life seem too lame, but that is one of the coolest things I've ever done! My mom thought she'd won the lottery!!
Here's Reese riding in the Braddy's car on the way to see her Gigi!!

We've just chilled the past few days with family and friends. Boo came to spend the night last night which was great as always. We leave with Papa Sunday morning. We miss Daddy so much! Reese has been looking all over for him. Just a few pics. I've been enjoying my family vs. being the crazy camera lady like usual...
Here's Papa pushing his Reesie cup...
Loving it...
A shot of my first born. My boy. Is he not the cutest? I miss him terribly!
Mr. Handsome...
I must admit, it is really, really nice to be home, even if it's short. Nothing like your OWN bed. Not to worry, we'll be back in the hard as a rock double bed shortly...I'll cherish my sleep tonight!
