Tilly goes to Alabama (without mom and dad)

Two weekends ago, Tilly went with my mom and two of my sisters to Alabama for a family reunion for my Nana's family. I have always loved going to this family reunion, but had committed to hosting a baby shower at my house, so I didn't go this year. However, everyone still wanted Tilly to come, so we let her go WITHOUT HER PARENTS! I knew she would be in good hands though. My Nana emailed me several pictures of the trip. (How impressive is that?!)

Tilly was reportedly not feeling well the entire trip. We took her to the doctor first thing the following Monday, and she had bronchitis. : ( It doesn't look like she was completely miserable though...

Here is a picture of Aunt Marlene (my Nana's sister), Nana, and my cousin Hayden. Everyone at the reunion said Tilly looked just like Hayden did as a baby. I can see that! (Note the red hair.)

Here is Amanda with our Aunt Muriel (rhymes with pearl...) Amanda has always been nicknamed "Amanda Muriel" because she took to Aunt Muriel so much (and vice versa) when she was young. The reunion is at Aunt Muriel's lakehouse every year.

So, Nana also sent me a couple of pictures from last year's reunion (which I got to attend!) to let me see the difference in Tilly over a year. It's obvious that this is Tilly, but she is really slimming up and has gotten TONS more crazy hair--quite a difference, don't ya think!

Thanks for the pictures, Nana! Here are a few new ones from this weekend for you...

By the way, for any of you wondering what we did (besides the baby shower) on our very first "childless weekend" since we've been parents...I was also sick with a horrible sinus infection, so I mainly laid on the couch and blew my nose. Sounds romantic, huh? (Eric didn't think so since he was the one picking up my USED Kleenex...)
