Oklahoma is O.K

What a fun week we had in Oklahoma introducing Harper to the rest of the family. On Monday morning we woke up and started to pack Grammy and Poppy's car.....stroller, swing, carseat, portable bed, playmat, and overflowing diaper bag.........wow! That's just for Harper! Time for a bigger car!


We managed to get ourselves in the car and then off to Oklahoma! The way to Oklahoma was great. Harper slept most of the morning. I wasn't sure how the trip was going to go, but it went much better than expected.Thank goodness that Harper likes his car seat. I must confess that I did take him out of his car seat when he woke up from his nap!! I know, I know.......kinda Brittany Spears like! I changed me first poopy diaper in the car...on my lap! Interesting! We stopped for lunch at Chili's in Dallas and Harper was all smiles. His Grammy was getting in some quality time, he loves his Grammy's voice. He couldn't stop smiling and giggling! It was darling!! Poppy tried to blow bubbles at him and he got this frightened look on his face! What a personality he is getting!


When we got back in the car, Harper went back to sleep and woke up 15 minutes before we arrived in Henryetta. I changed his clothes and got him ready to meet his Great Granddaddy and Great Grammy. He is their first great grandchild. That evening he met lots of family...Aunt Jan, Uncle Randy, Uncle Jimmy, and Cousins Tyler and Lori. We had so much seeing everyone. He was passed around all night. His feet never touched the ground!



On Tuesday, we traveled to Tulsa to visit Great Mimi, Grandpere', Aunt Heather, and the Nantz gang. We first visited Montereau and Harper loved the attention he was getting from all the residents! He slept through lunch and then woke up when we were telling everyone goodbye.... but not to worry his cry got 4 nurses' attention!


That afternoon we went to Broken Arrow to see the Nantzs. Harper loves his twin cousins Wyatt and Luke. They were napping when we arrived, but woke up in time to meet baby Harper. We enjoyed a short visit and then off to Goldies we went to meet Aunt Kay, Cousin Will and Phoebe. Will had driven in from OSU (go pokes!) to meet Harper. We ate lots of pickles from the pickle bar and enjoyed the delicious food and great company! Wow! What a busy day!



We rounded out the perfect trip with a visit from my little sis, Abby. She drove all the way from Stillwater to come and see us. Thanks Ab! It had been 2 years since we'd seen each other. Wow! It was so fun to catch up and introduce her to Harper. Maybe there will be a little Grantham soon!



Well our trip was fantastic! Thanks to Grammy and Poppy for letting us tag along! We look forward to visiting Oklahoma again soon!
