Back at Tara

We got back from our trip today around 5pm (EST) and with the hustle of moving things in and unpacking and laundry and feeding Ruth (bottle and spoon) and nap time and visitors and bedtime, etc, I forgot to call my mother to tell her I arrived. Sorry, Mom. Will call on Wednesday if I remember among feeding, bathing, and going to music camp. That is right, Ruth has a one day music camp at church tomorrow. It was actually a three day camp but we will only go one day since we have been out of town.

We left my parents on Sunday and went to my sister Kelly's in Cabot that afternoon. Ruth got to met her cousins Brooke (18) and Robby (13 years and 364 days older - he is 14 and his birthday is one day after Ruth's). Ruth got to swim in the pool for the first time ever. She seemed to really enjoy it although she couldn't figure out why water kept hitting her in the face. She would stop hitting the water with her hand long enough to spit some water out and blink and then hit the water again.

We spent the night at my little sister's house where Ruth got to met her dog cousins. Then on Monday we visited my friend Munns (actually, her name is Kim Munns Johnson but to everyone who was a Tri Delt between 1993 and 1997, she will always be Munns). Then it was back to Nashville. We stayed in a 4 star hotel (thanks for the great rate Priceline.com) next to Vanderbilt campus. As we were walking on campus this morning before driving back to Georgia I noted that in Ruth's four and a half month's she has been on three college campuses (can you name them?) and Brian pointed out that Ruth has been to seven states (can you name those?).

After all our travel, it is good to be home.
