Traveling to and from Kansas City was a nightmare... It all started off on Thursday night when I drove to Portland. I drove for over an hour and when I took my exit my car stopped driving. I thought I had a flat tire but I was wrong. I lost a bolt from one of my brakes and the car had to be towed back to Harrisburg (thank the Lord for AAA). The part ended up being a $3 investment and my car is as good as new. At least I only had to pay for gas to drive up to Portland. From there on the traveling portion of our trip to Kansas City was terrible. Jennine went to school in the morning and Lex and I got ready for the trip. When Jennine was finished we rushed to the Max to get to the airport. We finally arrived to a long line at the counter. Our flight was delayed (and later cancelled). We stood in line for hours and finally got a flight out to Denver. the airline was routing everyone through Kansas City so by the time we got to the counter there were no more flights to KC. We had to be put up in Denver and then depart again in the morning for KC. We got to the hotel super late and Lexi was bouncing off the walls. The Hotel was beautiful so that made it a little better. The only problem was we only got a few hours sleep because we had to be back to the airport at a 4:30am. We departed for KC the next morning and when we landed they had lost Lexi's luggage... just one more hick up in our travel. the next few days were great and full of wedding celebration but of course we had to get home. We got on our plane in KC made our connecting flight (after running through the airport in Denver) and landed in Portland. We arrived with all our luggage in Portland and thought our travel nightmare was behind us... until we got on the Max. The Max had a wire problem and we had to exit. After being bussed over the bridge we were able to get back on the Max and finally made back to Jennine's apt. Nate then picked me up and I finally got home about 8pm... The pictures below are of our travels, they look like happy pictures but believe me... there were times where we were less than happy! But all is well and the Wedding was wonderful! 
We went to the Country Inn for Mother's Day Champagne Brunch. The food was delicious and the Country Inn grounds are beautiful. We always have a good time when you combine Family and Food! Happy Birthday Mom and Nene- I love you! 
Lilly became a Freeman three weeks ago and is now 10 weeks old. When she arrived she was a little over 3 lbs and has now grown to about 4.5 lbs. She loves to play and is super funny with Henry. Lexi really enjoys her and has now named her little stuffed dog (which she insists is a cat...) Lilly. 
29! I have two hours left until my 365 day count down to THIRTY begins. I have no idea how I'm going to spend my last year in my 20's but I hope it's a good one. I had a birthday party on Saturday and had a great time with family and friends. Thanks everyone for coming (check out my friends and friends kids links to see some other pictures.) I got lots of lovely flowers for my birthday, including my favorite yellow roses. 
We had a great Easter! We started off at my parents church, Grace community Fellowship, and then headed to Grandma's. We ate well and had way too much candy! Easter was small and nice (we also got to watch some good basketball! you've got to love March Madness!) Thanks for cooking Grandma. Mom and Dad had gotten back late Saturday night from a week in sunny San Diego and were exhausted, and a little sick. They or should I say the "Easter Bunny" brought Lexi back lots of fun things to keep her entertained. 
In honor of Thriller's 25th anniversary we decided to do a little dancing. Here are some of Lexi's best Michael Jackson moves! In the last picture she is showing the camera her one gloved hand - super Michael of her. 
I've spent the last three weeks in Portland helping Jennine and having fun! Jennine's new place is great and in a really fun part of town. Parking is no good but there is so much to explore on foot. Every week the apartment looks better and better! We did although find out that my trunk is not good for IKEA shopping trips. Jennine and I spent a lot of time and used a lot of twine to get our purchases back to the apartment.
