Phoebe's 1st week away from mom & dad

Phoebe drove to Louisiana with Nanny & Uncle Ruby for Maddi's 3rd birthday party. Then MawMaw Tess & PawPaw came and picked her up on Sunday. She spent the week with them and they all drove back to Texas on Friday. They went to Story land at City Park and they went with Kinleigh and Aunt Kelli to Chuck e Cheese. Phoebe called us every night. MawMaw and PawPaw did great with sending us pictures everyday.

Still have lots to add about this trip!
