Basically this is the reaction Mike received when he relayed our Christmas holiday plans to his colleagues. You see, as a professor in a University on the quarter system, Mike's fall quarter ends before Thanksgiving and he returns to teaching after the New Year. That provides him ample opportunity to do research and provides us with the flexibility to travel. Of course the holidays are the time to be with family and we feel compelled to be with ours. So our plan was to drive to Forsyth, GA to spend time with my parents. Unfortunately from Athens it is a 10 hour drive. Whew! With 2 babies that is quite a feat but not impossible. But wait...we'll also be taking our 3 dogs. Yep we loaded up the whole clan and headed south. The 10 hour drive took more like 12 hours, but we managed to only have about 1 1/2 hours of screaming babies in that whole 24 hour period. Not a bad percentage, but it is still 1 1/2 hours of screaming babies.
And wait...there is still more. Once we returned from Georgia we planned to drive to Washington, DC to spend the Christmas weekend with Mike's folks. Once again with 2 babies and 3 dogs. Unfortunately those plans fell through so the 7 of us will be spending a quiet Christmas at home.
Here are some pictures from our time in Georgia:

Lily and Addison, your Christmas present will be belated but it will be well worth the wait. We hoped it would arrive while you girls were in Ga. but NO. Then we were sure it would make by Christmas but NO. Well maybe by Valentines Day. We love you all and Again Merry Christmas. take lots of pictures and videos. Love Franklin and Aimee
