I made a last minute trip to OK. Darren was going to be really busy (even more than usual), plus I had a nephew due on July 4th. I had played with the idea of going to OK but wasn't sure I was brave enough to drive it with the 2 kids. Becca's always been a great traveler but was still a little unsure about both of them. So, I finally decided a few days before I left that I might as well try it now. We left at 8:00 and got to OK at 6:00; I'd say that's pretty good. I did have to stop a little earlier than expected twice with Barrett screaming in the back but all in all they really did well.
We ran around with my mom and saw my brothers and their families. My nephew still hadn't arrived but they induced her on Sunday, 8 days after the due date. I was able to be at the hospital when he was born. I've never been on the other side of the birthing room for anyone so it was cool. The kids did really well and I wanted to see him as soon as I could so we waited.

I was home for probably 10 days and still didn't go everywhere I wanted or see everyone I wanted, although I came pretty close. Becca enjoyed hanging out with her extended family and didn't really want to go home. My sister came up to meet our new nephew as well. Our last night in town, Phil and Katie braved coming over to my mom's house so we could get pictures of all the grandkids. Next time we'll all be together, the smallest cousins will probably be big enough to really enjoy each other. I just hope they'll be close and we'll continue to get together every year because we and they have a blast when we do. Here are a few pics.
I hope someone got a better picture than this but here's all of us!
This was their entertainment one evening
