Pittsburgh without the Parents

Last weekend, Papa G and Sandy took Parker and Pryse (Sandy's 6 year-old Grandson) to visit the Johnsons in Pittsburgh.  It was Cate's 2nd birthday, so the perfect opportunity for a road trip. 

Parker was a trooper and handled the whole thing wonderfully.  I was worried about how she would react realizing that we weren't going along.  Fortunately, the only tears shed were by Mommy after they pulled off.  Parker had so much fun playing with her cousins and even slept in Clare's big girl bed one of the nights.  Here are the pictures everyone sent via text and Facebook.

Greg and I got to go out to dinner both nights and saw a movie Saturday night.  Our days were spent working on renovations to our second floor.  The major bathroom work is complete (we just need to do some final touches) and Parker's new room is coming along.  More on those in a couple weeks...

We missed our girl, but knew she was in such good hands with Papa G, Sandy, Gennie, & Eric looking out for her.
