First "official" Road Trip

This past Saturday, Jon and I woke up and decided we wanted to take a little road trip to Huntsville to see great friends. This was Bryce's first "official" road trip because we weren't going to see the doc. He did awesome! He is such an easy-going baby and he is already very social. Our first stop was to see Brian, Kelly, Landry (3 months old), Harper, and Emma. Bryce is already a flirt so he enjoyed meeting all of the girls. He got to play with a really cool toy while there, a bear that sang to him if he kicked the beach ball hard enough....I know, you have no idea what I'm talking about but I will add a picture shortly:) After we got done there, we headed to Bridge Street for a little shopping and dinner at Red Robin. We were wanting to see Patrick and Amy Delay while we were in town so when we finished dinner, we headed out to Toney to see them. Amy is about 9 weeks pregnant and their home was destroyed by the recent tornadoes so they are staying with some friends that live about 5 minutes away from their old home. Amy is going to be the best mommy ever. She didn't leave Bryce's side the whole time we were there. Bryce had a blast smiling and laughing with them. We were also able to see a bit of the damage that had occurred a couple of weeks ago. Completely sobering experience seeing cars strewn across fields, mattresses stacked on the side of the road, rubble piled high containing people's once treasured items, etc. It was the perfect reminder that the best things in life aren't "things". One day we will all leave this world and we won't be able to take any of our worldly possessions with us. God truly just blesses us with these things to use while we are here. Our ultimate gift lies in our relationship with Jesus Christ and we should truly store up our treasures in heaven. I thank God today for these precious friends we were able to visit and the fact that He healed our precious Bryce man so that we could enjoy days like today showing him off:) Thanks for reading...pics coming soon!
