Our visit to see Audrey Kate Greywoode!

Simon and I got to fly out and visit the Greywoodes for a couple days...

Audrey's parents for some reason trusted us enough, so we ended up baby sitting Audrey for 2 days when they went to work.

We had such a great time with her and enjoyed every minute that especially didn't involve a diaper change.

Simon was a natural, while I was just trying to figure this whole parenting thing out. I think I decided that it's doable.... in the future.

Uncle Simon is already wrapped around her finger!

Simon serenaded Audrey and she loved it! She also liked helping play the guitar as well as dance along!

We don't think she liked us doing this, but look how cute she is!

A day out on the town with her parents too!

When life hand you lemons, fly to Philadelphia!

So... on Carrie and Stancie's journey home from Arkansas, they flew Stand-by from LIT to ATL, with no problem. Hoping to then get on a flight to SNA, but all the flights were oversold. They tried to get anywhere west DEN, LAS, LAX, SLC, PHX, SFO, SAN, ONT..... all oversold.... and only going to get worse as the day went on.

The only option they came up with was to find a bar... and fast.  Simon had been assisting them over the phone with looking up flight options, and luckily stepped in with another plan! Miraculously, he came up with the best idea yet.

AN OPEN FLIGHT TO PHILLY!

We got on the flight and quickly invited ourselves for dinner with the Greywoodes! We ended up staying 2 nights and got to babysit Audrey while her parents went to work. 

It was fun "stopping by" to see the Greywoodes, like they live in the town over. It was such a great ending to a fun weekend! 

Audrey got some great practice dancing! She can actually move her hips like she knows she should be dancing! If she does become a dancer, Stancie and I take credit for that!

Audrey had fun with her "Yet to be named Grandma" and Auntie Carrie, but there's nothing that compares to when Mom comes home! 

Audrey likes to taste things and chew on them. She is teething so everything she grabs, goes in her mouth. She also likes to start talking while these things are in her mouth.

She got to have her rice cereal while we were there! As simple as that is, it was such a fun and important thing to watch!

We know the rumors that are going around about how Stancie and I came to fly to Philly.  

One of the rumors is that we planned it the whole time.

Yes, we did joke, before and during our flying that if we couldn't get to Arkansas, or get home that we would fly to Philly. So we admit that does look bad. But, to back us up, it was Simon who came up with the brilliant idea, and Tom was actually the last person to know. I believe Simon, Lita/Thon, Taylor, Leslie, some of Stancie's friends and obviously the Greywoodes all knew we were in Philly before he knew. He had left his phone at home, so he did not get the news until he called from his office to find out where we were. "Where" meaning ATL or SNA. It was pretty fun to say that we were in Philly!

So, this is the truth. Don't believe the rumors.

2 Months Old! 

Carrie got to fly out to Philly and visit Audrey (side note: Ashley and Jewel were also there).  She tried to pick up some mothering 101 while being around Audrey. She learned 4 things while there:

1. Not dropping the baby is the first and arguably the most important step to being a good mum.

2. Baby hair is really fun to style.

3. Steering a baby stroller is more difficult than it looks.

4. Stroller's are also a good way to carry wine home from the store.
