So I started writing last saturday but I got a little overwhelmed packing for a week of travel and never finished. I bring all good news thus far for the start of this week.

Daddy and I decided to keep SG out of the nursery this week since she was still getting over her sickness and knowing that we would be going out of town for an entire week. For those of you that are parents know that it is NOT fun traveling with a sick baby. I bring a report that our strategy worked! We not only have ridded ourselves of all our stuffy nose, but we have remained well thus far into our trip.

We had a very smooth plane ride to Columbus, Ohio. Samantha Grace was a gold star passenger sleeping the entire flight to Ohio. Upon our arrival we discovered that SG's coveted lovie took a bath in grape juice. So she was beginnng to smell like an addition to the communion elements! Thanks to the nice people in our hotel we were able to give Bunny a Woolite bath last night.

This morning we ALL enjoyed sleeping in way past our usual wakeup times. We then took advantage of Starbucks free pastries for breakfast and discovered Ohio 's version of the Curb Market in Montgomery. Except here it is called the pearl market, like a hidden gem in Columbus. We enjoyed sampling some scrumptious fruis and veggies and found some sweet trays that we will be bringing back home for our sweet tooth friends. There was even one bakery that was featured on Bobb Flay's Throw Down challenges there too!

SG's blood sugars have been leveling out since our arrival. From getting over the steroids that were in here system, the antibiotics and just the fact of being sick has sent her numbers all over the place. But I have to say she has beena trooper through all of it.

Please continue to pray that Samantha Grace will continue to stay well even after our return home. Also pray that we will continue to have somewhat of a leveling of her blood sugar numbers for a few days.
