I haven't had a chance to blog at all really.. and time is flying by faster than I'd like it to! My little girl is already 8 weeks old now! And thanks to our little road trip, has travelled quite a bit! We started off travelling about 5 hours North to my Dad's summer home on the lake. I grew up spending my summers on this lake and couldn't wait to watch Abby start that same experience!
She was a pretty big grouch for most of the time, so we stayed in the house for a lot of the days, but on the days that she was good, she took naps on the dock listening to the sound of the waves!
After a nice 5 day visit with Grandpa, we decided to head east for 3 hours and go visit her Uncle Aaron. She was so good on the first 5 hour drive, but a bit upset for this one. She obviously didn't know we were going to go see her favorite Uncle! Once we got there, she was all smiles!
He was able to come and see her when she was 4 weeks old, but she had gained about 2lbs and 2 inches since then and was so much more active. It was really nice to relax and spend so much time with him and to see how he was with Abby! I think he loves her more than I do, if that is even possible! 
After a nice 4 day visit, we decided it was time to head on home. Right before we did, we snuck in one last-minute picture just before he had to go off to work. Abby wanted to wear his hat!
There are two ways that we could have went home.. one way was about 6 hours, but a lot of travelling through forest and small highways, and another that was 7 1/2 hours on two large highways. We chose the long route.. and thank goodness! About 2 hours in my car started shaking so I took the next exit and when I was on a side road I heard a loud pop! I walked around my car didn't see anything strange, so I GPSd the closest Canadian Tire and drove on backroads to get there. Thank goodness Abby was asleep! They looked over the car for 30 minutes and said nothing was wrong.. so I asked them just to take another look because I was travelling pretty far..! After another half hour they said that I would be safe to drive, so we got in the car and started on the highway. As soon as I got on the highway the whole car was shaking again!!! It was a 6 lane highway and I was smack dab in the middle! I got off on the next exit and promptly called them back to say I was bringing back the car. THEN they found that I had BLOWN MY TIRE! You'd think doing a safety check they would check the tires first..! The actual tube inside hadn't blown but was about to.. so thank goodness I went back! $500.00 later and very tired we found ourselves with a 6 hour journey ahead of us and it was 6pm! Good friends of mine live in Ottawa, about 30 minutes away, so I asked them if they wanted a visitor and I was just going to stay in a hotel for the night. They asked us to stay over night, and that turned into 3 great days of visiting! They had a baby 2 days after Abby was born and her name is Maddison! 
Abby and Maddison had a lot of fun together! They met two weeks before this, but had both grown so much since! It was great seeing them interact! Abby couldn't take her eyes off Maddison..! I can't wait to see them grow up together!
After a nice trip, we decided it was time to hit the road and go home. It took us 7 hours to get home with only one stop to eat and cuddle for a bit! She was so good on the drive and got some much needed Zzz's. I can't wait to get back out on the road and travel with her again!
Until the next adventure..!
