Who Knew?

Who knew Hannah would love the trip?!? Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. It obviously worked. We started our trip Thursday morning as soon as Hannah woke up. She was super happy and silly and stayed that way the entire morning! She laughed and giggled and played and even got back into the car seat each time without fussing. She slept for about 30 minutes in the morning and then again for about 40 minutes that afternoon. Not long enough, but she was in surprisingly good spirits. I didn't have to get into my "surprise bag" until around 5:00. She had her first breakdown around bedtime when she couldn't stretch out and go to slept. We pushed on though and made it to our goal, the other side of St. Louis. She didn't sleep well in the hotel, or for very long and was very unhappy, but surprisingly she was fine getting back into the car Friday morning, thanks to her new favorite thing...duck. The is actually the word she uses for "truck". She LOVES semi-trucks and had a blast finding them all over the road. She didn't know where to look when we stopped at rest areas or gas stations. She was thrilled. Friday's journey went well and she even enjoyed watching some Praise Baby and eating some Dairy Queen ice cream. We arrived in Sioux Falls, SC right at 9:00 pm. She immediately fell in love with her cousin Savannah and all of her wonderful toys. We are thankful for our trip, that everything went smoothly and we were able to stay safe while traveling such a great distance. Thanks again for all of your prayers!
