We had a great trip to Headland over Spring Break, all things considered. When we left for AL, most of the kids had colds or were just getting over colds. When we left Headland to come back home, most of the family there had colds. Only, they got the mega-version of what we all had, even warranting my mom missing nearly a week of work (which never happens). I was certain that we only had a minor bug, but apparently it affects people in the South differently. Ken likened it to when the Europeans came over and wiped out all the Indians with the plague.
However, illness aside, we did enjoy our trip. The drive was long, but God was merciful and let Nathan (who hates the carseat) sleep nearly the entire trip both ways. This seriously is an unexpected blessing because he always (before then and since) screams in the car. On the way down we got to stop and spend the night with Billy and Hope. It was a fun time catching up and seeing them for just a while... they are such an encouragement to us. Their kids are great too and our kids had a blast.
Once in Headland, we enjoyed family cookouts, playing with cousins, Easter egg hunts and lots of visiting. I wish we could visit more often. Who knows? Maybe one day we'll settle down home in Dixie.
My sister, Kim, her husband, Derek, and their little girl, Aidan. This was the kids first time meeting their newest cousin. 
Jacob, enjoying the egg hunt.

Ken and Billy and our youngest ones. Did I mention that Billy introduced Ken and I back about 14 years ago? So he's responsible for all the this! Thanks Billy. :)
Our kids and the Atchison kids. Good times.
