A couple of days after we had snow, it got really warm outside. So we decided to take Morgan for her first walk outside in her stroller. We went to "Big Hill" here in Coffeyville. It is a big hill. It is a nice little trail that used to be an actual road called Roosevelt Scenic Drive. We like to walk this trail because not very many people walk it, in fact we have never seen anyone on the trail until this day. We saw 3 different people walking on it. We never went to the end of the trail before because first I was pregnant then and second we had no idea how long the trail actually was. So this time we decided to go ahead and walk the whold way and those other times we walked it, we were really close to the end of the trail. Because it is "Big Hill" there are a lot of ups and downs and not really any level places. So it is a definate workout. Morgan did really well. The only thing that was really the most exciting was seeing her face when she was dirting her diaper. I have never been able to get a picture of it until now.

A few days later, Tuesday, the 20th we headed for Lubbock, TX. The Sunset International Bible Institute, where Clint went for preaching school, was having their anual workshop. Morgan did really well on the drive down. We only had to stop 3 times. The adults were leaving the next day and actually stopped more than we did even though we had a 3 month old baby. Anyway, we got to see a lot of friends from school and church and one of my friends from working at Ann Taylor. Morgan got really tired though we were at the workshop though. On Thursday we fed her at 5:30 in the evening and when we got home around 9 we tried feeding her again but she wouldn't take any food she just wanted to sleep. We figured she would get up a little later to eat but she didn't get up until 6:30 that morning. We were really suprised. She has never gone 13 hours without food. I guess she was really tired. The next day I tried a lot harder to get her to sleep. Lately she has been fighting sleep really bad. So I found a recliner there at the workshop and rocked her to sleep 3 different times that day. I think it helped her a lot. She didn't do as well on the way back. We had to stop 6-7 times. One of our stops was to change her diaper and she happened to need that diaper changed right when we were about to come up on a place that I had always wanted to stop at but never had. When we got there I looked around and thought, "why did I always want to stop here?" There wasn't anything but 2 picinic tables. That was it. I guess in the past when they have a lot of rain there has been a little waterfall, but not this time. We took our pictures though and made the best out of the stop. We got back Saturday night around 9. It was a good trip and a lot of friends finally got to see Morgan. We had a lot of positive comments about her. They said that she smiles a lot and is a happy baby and she talks a lot for being her age. We love our little girl and are trying our best to be the mom and dad God wants us to be.
