The Move to Tucson



You may have noticed that I have not updated my blog in a while. That's because I've been driving across the country from Columbus, MS to Tucson, AZ. As many of you know my son-in-law is a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and he has been transferred to Tucson to train on the A-10. So I flew up to Columbus on the day the movers came to load the furniture.


This is Adalie when we first arrived at her empty house after the airport. She was a little shy with me at first (in comparison to when I left her). I took this picture as we sat on the floor of her empty bedroom and played while becoming reacquainted.

The four of us spent the night across the street at Celia and Tim's who so graciously gave us their home while they were out of town. They will be making the same journey shortly as Tim will be an A-10 pilot as well!!!

The next day we strapped Addie in her car seat, gave her her "Lovey" and off we went...the first of many days in that car seat. I might add that my little granddaughter was a perfect Angel the entire way across the country!

Addie had many a meal at fast food restaurants along the way. She, of course, was eating whole grain cereal mixed with organic fruits or vegies...WE adults were the ones eating the fast foods because sometimes that's all that is available!

And so this begins the first two days of my 10 day adventure with this sweet little family. More to come shortly! Enjoy.

P.S. Isn't this the most beautiful baby ever!!!????!!!!
