ODUS vol. 7: Little Travelers

Well our little family has become quite the little travelers.  In fact, one of us is quite literally a very little traveler (9 pounds to be exact).  But much to the relief of her mommy and daddy, that 9 pound little sightseer tackles the road like a champion!


At the end of June we went to Billings Montana so that Tim could take his MCAT exam, which he actually tackled like a champion as well... like father like daughter I guess!  (yes, the rocky theme song was on in the background here)


Brinlee actually doesn't care too much for the car seat (read: officially hates it), and we can't for the life of us get her to take a pacifier for more than 30 seconds.  So unfortunately we spent some time driving thorough some tears  :(  But for the most part she really was so good!


 And she was such a fun companion for the 5, yes 5 hours! Tim was gone testing.




The whole thing kind of wore her out though.  And so, even away from her own bed, that little angel gave us a great night's sleep.  Such a sweetie!


Having successfully gone to Billings and back, and knowing that traveling is (though at times tearful) doable, we packed up the very next weekend and went to Boise where Brinlee was blessed (more on that to come) and where she experienced her first real batch of cousin lovin'!


Brin is #3 on the Lords side and #14 on the Borup side, which means we had lots of eager little baby holders.  Which I actually really love!  Cousin's are so fun!  

The trip to Boise did not make her any more fond of her car seat by the way.  That relationship unfortunately still needs some work...
