first time away!!!

Last night i stayed the night at my parents. I havent been feeling well and really needed a solid nights sleep to get to feeling better and get rid of the migraine. We all hung out and when it was time for bed, i went to bed and she went in the cradle next to grandma and grandpa's bed. They were able to get up with her in the middle of the night and while i woke up when i heard her crying- she was great and im sure she enjoyed spending cuddle time with grandma and grandpa and we all know i enjoyed a good nights sleep.

i had a doctors apt today to check up and make sure all was well. I didnt want to take baby vaughn since i knew it would be feeding time for her and just in case i needed xrays- i didnt know what i would do with her. SO, dear aunt mimi was gracious enough to watch my sweet angel for an hour while i ran to the doc.

We are home now and she is resting...i have phone calls to make and we are planning on staying in the rest of the night as it is getting bitter cold.

I agree with my sister in the excitement for the holidays. I cant believe thanksgiving is so close and it will be great to see both sides of the family. The butler side hasnt yet seen my sweet girl and im excited to show her off as well. Chrismtas will be a blast and im excited to get all decorated. I want to make holidays a big deal for vaughn-elise since they were a big deal for us growing up and some of my best and most vivid memories play around the holidays and the excitement that they brought us all. watching for rudolf on the way home from gma kinneys until we were like 16, listening for the ringing of bells that uncle brad and Uncle greg would ring while we searched the sky, driving in the dark looking for ET, the excitement of sneaking past the living room and not looking until everyone was awake...the traditional foods... i could go on and on. its just a great exciting time of year and i cant wait!!!
