Seth and I did make plans to go up for the funeral and decided to take Jules and leave Jillian...since we were only going for about 30 hours and Jillian SUCKS in the car! So, we left Jillian with Mimi and Papaw and headed up for the funeral with Jules not even being three weeks old yet! Of course, Seth and I expected the worst in the car since Jillian has never been good, but Jules surprised us! She slept the ENTIRE way up to Arkansas...about 6 hours. I woke her up to feed her and then she went right back down in her car seat. She also slept almost all night (of course she got to sleep with Seth and Me while away from home, so that probably helped). And she slept through the whole visitation and funeral! She was such a good baby and so now Seth and I have major high hopes that she will stay this way and be our ANGEL in the car! Uncle Caleb rode up to Arkansas with us...and poor thing was such a good sport as I sat in the back seat and pumped (breastmilk) every two hours on the way up! I am sure he won't be traveling with us again anytime soon!!!
The funeral was very nice and a great celebration of Seth's Granny! She was a wonderful woman and very well respected by so many people. We will all miss her sweet spirit and our trips to Arkansas just won't be the same without getting to see our Granny!

Here is Jillian trying to get out the front door. She was so excited to spend the night at Mimi and Papaw's house...and she couldn't wait for Mimi to get there! She was carrying her suitcase around all morning long!!
