Home not so Sweet Home...

The week after Christmas Ava and I rode with YaYa and Poppo to Clarksdale. I can not tell you how amazed I was with Ava riding 14 hours in her car seat. God was truly with us!! She did fantastic!! We stayed a week in Clarksdale in my brothers one bed room apartment! I was ready to come home to say the least. It was very fun getting to see lots of old friends though! Ms. Rita and Mr. Gary came over to see us and to meet Ava for the first time. Heather and Jackson came over from Greenville to see us. It was fun to see Ava and Jackson together. They are 6 months apart in age. I wish we lived closer to spend more time with them. Jackson was not sure about Ava being in Heather's lap. He got a little jealous, it was cute. He wanted in Heather's lap too and got right in mommy's face. Aunt Heather gave Ava the cutest outfit and socks for Christmas too. Its lime green with zebra ruffle and cute pink feathery stuff across the chest. I will have to take a picture of it to show.

We saw lots of Poppo's family while we were there. Aunt Lisa, poppo's sister, was so glad to get to meet Ava. Ava also met mama Young for the first time. While in Clarksdale I also ran into Heather Houston and Kate Dunn it was fun seeing them. Kate and Mason's kids are so cute. They look just like Mason!! I also got to have lunch with my really good friend Kacy and her little girl Ally. I was so glad I got see her. I went and visited with her mom as well. Ms. Kay is always so sweet!! And of course I got to see Merri! I basically had to hog tie her to spend time with me, but that's Merri. Leighton did take me and Merri to the casino one night and got us a suite. It was fun! Free room, free food, free drinks, and I only lost $20 of Leighton's money..LOL! We had a good time. I don't get to spend a lot of time with him so I was glad we had the chance to do something together. I have learned to never say "Never" but I hope I never have to move back to Clarksdale! It was so depressing! I was glad to get back to my bed and my house here.
