OMSHville wore us out
February 13th, 2008
On our last evening visiting Heather and her family, Heather’s lovely mother Izzy offered to watch the kids for us so the adults could go out to a movie. Meredith and Annalie had a little slumber party that night, so Annalie wouldn’t have to sleep alone. According to Izzy, she had to go in and tell Mer to stop reading to Annalie about a half-hour after bedtime, but after that they fell asleep. When we got home and I tried to go check on them, Mer had rolled off the bed and was blocking the door. Heather and I muscled our way in and she carried a still-sleeping Meredith to her own bed.
We’re worn out, but we had so much fun. We can’t wait to see y’all again. And I can’t help but think that meeting internet people and having them become real live friends is rather magical.

I love that photo of the girls. Oh my goodness, I didn’t know if I was gonna be able to get in that stinkin’ door!
Magical indeed.
Thanks for not taking photos of my bed head. I forgot to take some of you for blackmail and well…would have had nothing to put out as “turn about is fair play”.
Internet! BETHANY IS AS LOVELY AS YOU THINK! TROY AIN’T SO BAD EITHER. AND ANNALIE, SHE’S A DOLL!
No, I don’t know why I’m yelling.
It really looks like you guys had an amazing time, I am sooo jealous!
Finally getting to meet an online friend is very magical. Not only did I meet an amazing friend from an online mommy group several times (we have vacationed at her house several summers), but I also met my husband online ;)
So glad that both families had such a wonderful visit.
The photo of you two is great! I love the antique fans in the background! My great grandparents had one in their house. When I was little I was always warned to stay away from it. The spinning metal blades would have cut my finger off for sure. The protective cage wasn’t so protective. The holes were large enough for me to easily stick my hand through. Ahhh, good memories. :-)
Glad you had a good time with the one and only OMSH!
Welcome back home!! Glad you two had a great time!!
I had a dream last night that you were having some kind of costume ball gala and invited, among all these other people, me!! You were making all the food yourself. Your house had an elevator in it. At one point, turning the corner, I ran into Tony Danza scooping formula into a baby bottle. I spent most of my time keeping Annalie company so you could cook. In your bathroom, I ran into an old man while washing my hands (you had a HUGE bathroom with two entrances to it) and he told me there were a lot of pretty girls at the party to talk to, so he wouldn’t be talking to me at all!! Way to be insulted! At some point, it turned into a costume party with a live band and I was dressed like a rabbit in a magician’s hat. Good times. Must stop eating burritos before bed.
Sounds like a wonderful trip!
I love that photo of you and Heather :)
Haha! Are you sure that was JUST burritoes Aileen?!?!?! You had me rolling reading that. Sounds like some of my dreams. :)
