Mommy Enjoys Movie Too
Justin just plugged in another cord into Stella's dd player that alliws me to now enjoy " C is for Cookie" He has a monitor that clips over his rearview mirror. Since we are hauling a trailer and an auction topper he has no use for his mirror anyway and can only use side mirrors.
Up at NOT The Crack Of Dawn
We drove till our halfway point outside of Rochester NY arriving at the hotel around Midnight. Stella slept like a gem in her cat seat those last few hours and awoke surprisingly very happy as we booked our room for the night.
As Justin loaded the room with our computers, pack n play, etc. Stella ran up amd down the long hotel hallway giggling and following me each time to the ice machine. I needed to fill the sink since we had no fridge this time in our room.
And now, at 11am, the three of us are barely out of bed making our way back on the road again. Of course i knew to request that late check out time so no worries :) See you Grampy & JoNana....Tonight!

In-Flight Movie Stereo Surround Sound!
omg Stella is enjoying her feature film presentation Little Stewart in complete Surroumd Sound through the car stereo. Its awesome.
And i cant help but dwell on the fact that i didnt think of this possibility a LONG time ok because most movies on her car dvd player can hardly be heard via the player itself. This girl has been a road tripping diva since she was 2-weeks old....ok but no in-flight movies until she was much older than that ;)

Mother's Day 2011
Cute Story - Justin handed me two cards and this little stuffed animal bunny and told me "Now everything here is from Stella. She picked it out all on her own." and i asked "...what? but when?" as i am with her almost 24/7. He said - today, this morning, when you were sleeping in! We went to the store, she in her PJ's still, and she picked these out for you, cards and all.". Awwww, how so very sweet this is to me. So much that i kept picturing this in my head all day long today. I love my bunny and i love my cards - especially the one that says "You're One Hot Mama!". ha ha Thanks Stella *and daddy ;)
Happy Mother's Day to my mom. I love you so much and thank you for everything you do for me. And Thank You for yet another lovely family get together. I really appreciate everything you do to make for such a good memorable time. And so does Justin.
Happy Mother's Day Mom - xoxox Justin. I love you THIS much! And Jen does too! We appreciate all that you do for us.
Happy Mother's Day to all my "mommy friends" old ones & new ones!
P.S. I want to say something special to my Aunt Janice. You were so sweet to me on Mother's Day getting so excited to share a Mother's Day for the first time with me as a mom :) I'll always remember your face and enthusiasm when you proclaimed your excitement for our special occassion. And the gifts you gave me...to share with Stella (nice excuse - you know it was just another reason to buy your little Stella something, ha ha!) were so great, thank you! And I want you to know how special you are to me and although you and i have spent now, what i believe is, close to half of my life in different states it still doesn't matter. As we are very close and i adore our relationship. Love you! NOW....tell me you aren't sobbing right at this moment! If i know my aunt janice....you are. :)
