In my mind.....

So, before I start anew, I'm going to fill you in on my travels as promised. There have been multiple locations where I have pitched my pac n play over the last few months, so bear with me - this may take two postings or more. The Carolinas. Mom and dad talked about NC all the time, and tons of people kept coming from there to visit me. I finally had my own taste of this glorious state. Real nice place. I'm actually going back this week for a 3 or 4 week jaunt I liked it so much.

Day before I left NJ, this guy (a NC native ofcourse) shows up. I'd seen him before, but I forgot how soft his beard was. He was asleep on our couch when the movers arrived. I don't think they packed him because I haven't seen him since.

While all my toys and belongings were being packed away by strangers, we stayed with these kids and their parents (Thank you Larsens!) in Jersey for awhile. I think they were trying to set me up with the blond one, but clearly I like the older boys.

So, after we left Jersey, we stopped to see the Hills in Maryland. I got to hang with my buds, Tate and Naomi (see their blogsite at right, but word to the wise - they update it quarterly). Then, finally, I arrived. North Carolina....the promised land. And let me tell you, with three sets of grandparents in one location, it truly is a land flowing with milk and honey. My papa (grandpa Joseph) even offered me some chocolate icecream. Mom nearly had a cow. I didn't actually partake of it, so no harm no foul. A few NC pics for your viewing pleasure:
Meeting the infamous Aunt Lulu, soon to be Mrs. Petree. Not the greatest picture of me, but as you can see I am no slave to the camera. Vanity is for the weak.

I also met all kinds of relatives on the Acton side of the family at Kackie's Southern Barbeque. It was the best Eastern Carolina pulled pork, cole slaw and beans I've ever had. Well, mom said it was the best she'd ever had. Milk's milk.
Mr. Jim House, dashing as always. Didn't quite know how to hold a baby, but I don't mind being a guinea pig. I've broken others in.


Hangin with cousin Wells and Grandaddy, waiting for Rayne to come. I slept on many a couch, floor and bed over the course of 3 weeks. No rest for the weary, mind you.
