It’s official: Cady flew on an airplane! We were so nervous but she did really well. We were off to see Grandma and I was nervous about more things than just that little girl flying on a plane. She would have to sleep in a new bed, sleep in a room with us, and adjust to a new schedule and environment. Little did we know how versatile miss Cady would be! She slept in her play yard that Gammy got for her like a champ sleeping up to 1 ½ at a time. She ate well too, breastfeeding very well and taking a bottle at times too. She enjoyed her new environment, mostly because it was filled with love.
We went on several adventures too! Aside from the plane ride to and fro, we went to eat at Casita Linda’s, McKelligon Canyon, Taco Tote, National Weather Serivce El Paso, Granpapa Graves’ house and Momma’s Pancake Emporium (Crackle Barrel). Whew! Did I miss any? Everywhere we went people fell in love with Miss Cady Pieper. It was great to see some old friends at EPZ and nice to see Granpapa as well. Taylor, James, Gabrielle and Jacob all got to see Cady over a big breakfast. We hope that it’s not too much longer before we get to come back.
Thanksgiving at home was a real treat. There is nothing like Gamma’s cooking. We had all the fixings: turkey AND ham, twice baked potatoes, GrandPaul’s green bean casserole, homemade bread, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and pecan pie. Yummy! We were all pretty pooped afterward. Aunt Lauren got plenty of time to spoil the little miss and GrandPaul got tricked into holding Cady. At thanksgiving dinner, Cady took time out of her busy schedule to creepily stare at Matt for a while. All in all, a great trip; I miss everyone already.

Lol….those yearbook pictures are hilarious. I can’t stop laughing! Give Cady-girl a sweet kiss for me. I love her so much.
Brennyn, you are doing such a great job writing these sweet letters and reflections to Cady. I am so proud of the fabulous mommy you are. We loved having you here and Cady could not have been a better baby. She let all of us pass her around like a bad cold, and never fussed a minute. She slept like a champ and ate well, too, and delighted us with her babbling and smiling. It was wonderful having you, Corey and Cady here at the same time with Lauren. I was one happy mama/gammy! Thank you for coming.
That pic of Grandma and her girls is really a nice picture!!
