Road trip recap...

Overall our 1st road trip with Eddie was a success. The car rides were truly painless. We only had to make one stop both on the way to Cedar Rapids and on our way home from Moline. Rowan was content watching movies or playing with whatever she had in her backpack. She napped both ways as well.

Sleeping wasn't too bad for both kids either. Saturday, Rowan didn't take a nap, and went to bed fairly easily. And for the most part wasn't phased by her brother waking in the middle of the night. And despite the lack of napping and late bedtimes, she was pleasant to be around.

We were thrilled to be able to see as much family that were willing to either make the trip to visit (Graham/Kim, Tara) or just take time out of their weekend to stop by and visit (the rest of the Moline family). We were happy to share Eddie and Rowan with them. Eddie hasn't been and will never be held so much again in his life probably, or at least until the next Smith Family function.
