We did it!!! We finally left Anna Kate for more than about 3 hours! We had the opportunity to go to Tuscaloosa this weekend with Tyler's dad Robin and the girls to stay in their new condo and go the home opener against Tulane. We had such a great time being with you guys...thanks so much for letting us tag along!! We left Anna Kate with my mom and daddy and headed out about 1 on Friday and returned today around 6....those last few hours were excruciating! I missed Anna Kate so much. Even though we had a fantastic weekend being back in Alabama with family, and I was able to do some shopping for next season for Anna Kate...I wore my mom and dad OUT with all my phone calls! They did a perfect job taking care of her! Thanks so much, mom and daddy...you have no idea what a blessing it was to come home to a happy baby! :) They even called us right before we drove into Knoxville and let us listen as Anna Kate cackled and laughed harder than I've ever heard her while they were playing with Bella! Here are a few pictures from the weekend!
I don't know if I've mentioned it, but Anna Kate absolutely LOVES to chew on her feet...so funny!
Hanging out with Daddy...Mama, why are you taking my picture??
She is REALLY grasping and holding onto things well...they also generally go in her mouth...
We went and got Anna Kate a jumperoo...I don't think she's quite ready for it...she just sat in it with this bewildered look on her face and spun around slowly on one toe. I almost hurt myself laughing!
Leaving my baby...I was heartbroken!
I asked Mom to take lots of pictures this weekend, and this is what I got! :) See how she's grasping the bottle...it won't be long before she'll be holding it all on her own!
Sarah, Tyler and Mae Beth on the balcony at the condo...see Bryant-Denny in the background?
Actin silly after a LOOOOOONG ride in the car!
...normal
...more silliness!!! See how much more flexible Sarah & Mae Beth are than the old woman? Ahhh...youth!
Watching TV
in The Zone...aka The Eating Olympics...there was so much good food, we all about ate ourselves silly!
This time last season, my baby bump was just showing up!
Me & Robin...isn't that the best view of the field???
Sarah, me & Mae Beth...we took a million pictures! It was so much fun
Sweet Home Alabama...I still say that Bryant-Denny is THE prettiest stadium in the world at night! You can't beat it!

I am sooooo glad that everything went well with Miss Anna Kate. And, I am super glad you enjoyed the weekend. What would you do without cell phones? I hope you have a really good week.
It is a bittersweet moment when you leave your baby for the first time. Joe and I have done it twice. The first time was for 3 nights. By Sunday night I was ready to go get her. I am glad you all had fun:)
What great pictures! I'm so glad you married into a family that loves Alabama football as much as you!
Hey Elisa it was great to here from you. You have such a lovely family and your little girl is soooo adorable.
I'm so glad that you all had a good time this weekend, and glad that Anna Kate did well at your parents! Love all the pictures, espically the one of you and Tyler at the game!
