Over the river and through the woods

We are just back from what we expect is our last out-of-town trip until Jordan comes in October. We visited the Arthur families up at Dondi's grandma's house near Perkins, Oklahoma. Below you can see all the cars that brought us to Oklahoma. We had family in from five states: Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. It was great to see everybody.



The trip was fun, if too short (we drove up Saturday and came back Sunday). Dondi got to see her grandma and about 2,536 of her closest relatives (it seemed like that many to Roy, but we may have counted a couple of people twice).



Dondi handled the trip really well. We had to seek special permission from the doctor to go. The risk of blood clots was the main reason for the caution, so we stopped a couple of extra times to walk around and get some water. Speaking of the doctor, Dondi goes back Thursday to take her mini-glucose screening test. If that goes well, we're done with worrying about gestational diabetes. If it doesn't, then she gets to go in for a three hours where they do a much more detailed test. Obviously, we really hope Thursday goes well.

Jordan didn't seem to mind the trip (or the food) either. He managed to kick a lot (never when Roy was around, of course, but Aunt Deona got to feel him kick once).

From the weekend, we want to send a shout-out and special congrats to Billi and John on their marriage; Amber 1 and Jeremy on their pregnancy and Amber 2 on her soon-to-come daughter Skyler.
