It took us about 6.5 hours (should be 4.5-5). We totalled 6 stops, but we made it. She is at her Nahnah’s house for the first time. She met her greatgrandmother, and tomorrow she will meet her cousins.

For now, everything is as it should be. Her belly is full, and she is safe and snuggled in her mommy’s arms.

For now, the world is PERFECT. ❤
