Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Wenatchee or Bust - Day 9

Start: Holiday Inn Express, Wenatchee, WA
End: StayBridge Suites, Missoula, MT
Total miles: 380 miles (approx)

I guess I should now change the trip name to "Waverly or Bust" but you get the point!

Korri got to have a sleepover at Auntie Debbie's house with Sonia last night! I love that she is so adventurous and doesn't mind spending nights away from us. Plus, she can rub it in Sasha's face that she got to sleep in Sasha's bed!

We got up and packed the van this morning. It was so nice the last couple of mornings NOT to have to pack up all of our stuff! But thankfully, we have it down to a science and Emma is a HUGE help. We went to Nana and Papa's for breakfast consisting of Nana's famous popovers (made successfully by Debbie!!!) and little smokies...and there MAY have been some mimosas!


It was bitter sweet. Great breakfast but we knew we had to leave afterward! What a great visit we had with Nana, Papa, Auntie Debbie, Uncle Samir and Sonia!!! They do such a great job of making us feel right at home and...well...part of the family! LOL (because we are!) They made Emma feel like she fit right in, which meant a lot to me. She kept saying how nice everybody was to her!!! And she tried lots of new foods including a traditional Lebanese meal, cooked by Debbie and Samir! So good!

Since now that we will be traveling East instead of West, we had to get going because we lost one hour during our travels today. Luckily, we were able to stop and see Dave and Marika (and their girls!) for lunch on our way through Spokane. Such a nice visit. I told them it is too bad that we don't live closer because Korri would be an insta-babysitter for Henley! They loved each other. AND we got to meet baby Millie! So tiny and so precious. Glad we got that time with them.


And then we had another 3 hours to drive to get to our destination for the night: StayBridge in Missoula. Sounds familiar, you say? We stayed there on our way TO Washington! Mac was like: wait, have we been here before?!?! LOL

Emma drove for the WHOLE trip! It was a bit nerve wracking having her drive through the mountains, but she did great! We arrived in one piece, so that's what matters! Although I did wonder a few times how sturdy the guardrails were (not because of HER driving, just because it was mountain roads!).


And now we are chilling in the hotel room, watching the Vikings vs Seahawks preseason game and then the kiddos are going to go swimming (no way!).


We'll see what tomorrow brings! Probably more time on the road!
