Omaha or Bust!

This past week, our family took a trip to Omaha to see the grandparents. We decided to drive and thankfully we did with all the stuff we took with us. Hopefully we can cut down on "necessities" for the next trip.

Of course Emmy really enjoyed getting to see all her grandparents again. So many things had changed since she saw them in December. Here are some pictures of Emmy with Jay-pa and Nanny Dess.The puppies had to get involved!!Emmy getting read a story by Nanny Dess...
Lucky for us both sets of grandparents live in Omaha so Emory got to see Grandpa and Grandma Zimmerman too!Oh how happy she was to be in Omaha!!Emory found herself a napping partner this week. We joked that she was rocking Grandpa Zimmerman to sleep instead of the other way around. Either way, they both got plenty of naps in!!! Emory got to meet someone very special while in Omaha, her great-grandma Shirley!! Grandma's husband was who we named Emory after. We think she liked being held by her great-grandma.We were so glad that grandma Shirley could come down to meet Emory. It was also good because we took a four generation picture!! Too bad Emory missed the whole thing.It was so nice being with our family and relaxing. Emory didn't know what to think about the cold weather, but we kept her bundled up in this pink outfit uncle Ryan gave her. It was adorable.Emmy also got to meet a new friend Abby. Chelle's friend Jenny had a daughter 2 days before us, sealing the deal that they will be best friends!! Here are Chelle and Jenny at the "Sip and See" that Rhonda and Jeri had in Omaha. We did a baby swap for the picture.We were also fortunate enough to spend time with Chelle's friend Traci. She told Emmy all sorts of interesting stories from Africa. (She had just gotten back in the country the day before).Sadly, we had to leave Omaha and head home. It was a wonderful week of showing Emmy off to family and friends and getting some cold weather. The trip home was long, but we are glad to be back. Here is where the silliness of middle-of-no-where-Kansas kicks in."There's no place like home.... there's no place like home."
