On the Road Again

Previously my births have taken place right before Christmas, and we have gone on big trips both Christmas breaks with pretty new babies both with Chiara and Asher.  I was actually congratulating myself on having better timing with Navy to not have to travel so soon after her birth since she would be born in the Summer.  Well the joke was on me!  She was born on Pioneer Day...

(Which we actually did celebrate)

Proof

Apparently it was necessary for me to take that to a whole new level and move all the way to Utah 5 days after she was born :)

We decided that out of all the options we considered the best would be to sell most of our things and drive out with a 6x12 trailer attached to our car. (I really did not want to fly or drive with the kids by myself so soon after having a baby via c-section). 

Bye South Carolina!

Since we were going such a distance, we decided to take it slow and make some visits along the way.

First up, we got to see Aunt Alicia and Uncle Phil along with Chris and spend some time at their beautiful home. The kids got to get some energy out in the pool! 

Next up we got to spend some time with our good friends in San Antonio.

Reunited at Chik-fil-a of course!

We spent a day at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Uncle Eric was there too :)

 And finally it was on to Utah, we saw some good friends.

And  we were lucky enough to be hosted by Kelly and Lance along with Stuart's Grandma! Talk about good timing, Grandma Janet happened to be coming through on the way from a conference. Navy is her 10th great-grandchild!

We finally got to meet Daryn!

Baby swap!

It was quite the adventure, but what precious memories to see so many loved ones on our way!
