Addison went on her first road trip. We went to St. Louis to visit her Auntie Allie and Captain Awesome. (That is the "uncle name" Adam has decided on.) The trip took us just under six hours and that was with one stop to feed Addison. It is so wonderful to have them so close to us compared to when they lived in California.While we were in St. Louis we went on a picnic and to the zoo one day. It was FREEZING but we still had a lot of fun. It was Addison's first trip to the zoo. She pretty much slept through the whole thing:) We also went out to dinner and tried some foods native to St. Louis; toasted ravioli and frozen custard. We also got to see the church Captain Awesome works at. It is called Windsor Crossing Community Church. http://www.wcrossing.org/index.html We were very impressed with the church. They seemed to have an awesome children's ministry. The youth ministry (that is where Adam works) seems really great. It is a unique kind of church that is really reaching out to many different kinds of people. We got to visit a Sunday morning service. The sermon series was on the book of Nehemiah. The sermon was one that could have been tough but the pastor was very straight forward and did not play around. Mommy got to stay in the service while Daddy left to go change a diaper. He never came back. We assumed he decided to stay outside and watch the sermon on a TV outside the sanctuary but were we wrong. Addison had her first major blow out. Dad got to experience the Koala changing tables found in most bathrooms. Also, that particular Sunday Addison wore an outfit that had to go over hear head. Dad had to try to figure a way to get it over hear head with out getting any poopies on Addison. Another man walked into the bathroom exclaimed "oh man!" and promptly walked back out. Dad managed to get Addison all changed, wash the outfit out in the sink and put on the extra outfit Mom had in the diaper bag. Unfortunately the spare outfit was a little too small. Mom and Auntie Allie could not stop laughing as the whole experience was told in great detail. Dad did not think it was so funny. Other than the diaper experience we had a great time in St. Louis! It is great that now we can picture where Adam and Allie live (of course it is decorated super cute and very homey) and also the church they are a part of. We left St. Louis on Sunday afternoon. Allie rode back to Nashville with us and then began Addison's second road trip...

This blow out experience reminds me of last November when we were in Tennessee and had lunch with you. Julian had the most disgusting diaper in history while we were in the restaurant. You can't say we didn't warn you!
I had forgotten about that. That was so funny. I remember D'arcy was the one who discovered it when she was under the table picking something up. Good times :)
