Yesterday morning, Hudson and I flew to Dallas for a last trip to visit my parents before baby boy #2 arrives. I’m 27 weeks pregnant now and my flying days will soon be over and I’ll be staying close to home. Hudson loves his KK and Poppie and I miss my parents so badly, so trips to see them are always built into our plans.
TC stayed behind to work. When we come to visit my parents, we stay for a week– minimum. This is one of my favorite things about being about to stay at home with Hudson. My family is so far away and those visits are so important to me and I want Hudson to have a great relationship with them. We always miss TC so much while we’re away, but I know that he would be here if he could. It’s just not really feasible for him to take so many weeks away from work during the year.
This morning, my mom, Hudson, and I are driving over to Louisiana to meet up with family in Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. We’re very excited to see everyone and always wish we could make it to every stop on the map and see everyone we love. There’s just never enough time!
I will be without a computer, but will have my lovely new iPhone. So I think I’m going to take a few days off from blogging so I can enjoy my trip and come back inspired.
And I’m going to take pictures. When looking for a good picture of Hudson with me, his KK and Poppie, this was the best I found. It’s over a year old. Not good, friends!
have fun, erin!
what a gift to be able to spend such long chunks of time with your family!
Have a blast!!!!!! 🙂
Erin, Have a safe and happy trip. I look forward to seeing pics when you get back.
You went with the Verizon iPhone! Hooray! Have a safe and blessed trip with your family. Hope the weather is beautiful and Hudson is well!
Have a great trip! As always, your hair looks fantastic in that picture. 🙂
Have fun!! Can’t wait to see y’all when you get back!
Have a blast with your family and safe travels! That picture made me realize how much Hudson has grown. WOW!!! I’m sure you think that all the time…but look at the difference a year (or so) makes. They really do grow up fast.
Have the best time with your parents! I know there is nothing like it! 🙂
Yah for Shreveport! I’d love to just bump into you somewhere!
Enjoy your visit!
Have a great trip!

Have fun Erin! So nice to stay with your family for that time. Enjoy it! You look stunning in that picture.

Enjoy yourself!! That is a great picture… My hair envy continues to grow..
What a nice picture…you have such fabulous hair!!! Enjoy your family time.
Have a great trip 🙂
Enjoy every second with that wonderful family of yours!
Hi Erin! I stumbled across your blog today and absolutely love it! You are so real on here and honestly, that’s hard to find in blog land. Lots of Mom-Blogs have a tendency to only display the “rainbows and butterflies” version, so when I read them, I feel like I am the only one with an 18-month old that throws tantrums which make me want to throw tantrums! 🙂
(I am the Mommy to three girls: 6y, 3y, and 18mo…it’s almost always chaos, but we love it that way!)
I look forward to following regularly when you get back from your break. Enjoy and get some rest! Feel free to stop by my blog anytime! http://www.btwilli.blogspot.com

That is a beautiful picture of you! Enjoy your trip!
The weather in NOLA is perfection right now – have fun!!!
Hi Erin. I have a twin boy named, Hudson! My Hudson will be two in March. I have a navy blue corduroy longall made by Funtasia size 24 months with “Hudson” on it in light blue. Want it? You can have it if you think your Hudson could wear it. I could mail it to you if you want bc I live in S.C. My Hudson wore it once (I forgot it was in his closet). my email: mottiemel@aol.com
Have a great trip!
Gorgeous family photo!
