Tennessee

Dave had to go to Russia to play some shows so Elinor and I went to Tennessee to visit my parents. They had bought a house there awhile ago but finally retired and made the move.


My dad picked us up from the airport. He held Elinor and she snuggled up on his shoulder right away. We facetime with them just about everyday but I didn't think she would make the connection. Their house is amazing. It's something that I wish we can find, big and open. They are in the mountains with nothing but woods all around them. When we got out of the car and I looked up, the sky was full of stars. I forgot that the night sky can even look like that! I didn't bring our real camera since I already had so many things with me. I wish I did but hopefully Dave can get some free time and we can go back.

Our first day there my parents showed us around. There are trails that go everywhere. They have access to the lake, pools, community center for the indoor pool and basketball court, playgrounds, golf courses and more. Everything is so close unless you need to go to a grocery store.


Elinor and their new puppy Toby became buddies right away. He was so good with her but as the days went on my sneaky daughter would push her toys or food into his mouth and then look at her papa to yell at him. Then she would laugh and laugh. Oh that little girl!


She loves her "papa" and "mum". I wish we could be close enough for weekend trips.

Last day of vacation



On the day we left we just spent some time with my parents...and eating. We thought about maybe going to a park but decided to just stay at the house. It was a good idea. I wanted Elinor to have some play time and normal nap before we got on the plane. 

 There aren't many pictures of us like this
 this was from the night before. My mom had taken her for a walk

I had my hair in a bun but for some reason took it out right before this picture. So ignore my crazy hair please! Besides that I love this picture of us
and then Elinor flew us home

hi grandpa

My parents are in town. It has been so nice to have them here especially since this is the first time my dad is meeting Elinor.

I really wish we lived closer to them. She loves them so much. We went to the mall today and at one point they sat hanging out with her while I ran around the mall shopping alone for a little bit. She just snuggled on my dad's shoulder and slept the whole time.

We also finally got a little snow! I had to get a picture of baby's first snow. She didn't really care too much. I'm always so worried about her being warm but this bear suit is so think and warm she stays nice and warm in there.
