The Bunn boys' east coast tour is officially over. And I don't think we'll leave the house for at least a month. We were blessed with great weather for traveling (we missed huge snow storms by one day for our departure and return). It took 12 hours to drive down to VA (this includes stopping to feed the boys) and 3 days to return home. The return did not go as hoped, missing Lizzie and her family due to strep (Lizzie - I'm just impressed you went to the doctor!) as well as missing Aunt Wendy, Ginny, Uncle Henry and Aunt Mary. We are praying for your health and speedy recoveries. But we did get to spend time with Rob's Uncle Jerry and family as well as our dear friends the Schneiders, Brackins and Hustons, who bravely and lovingly welcomed us, as well as all at the family reunion. The boys did remarkably well with the car rides, in all new settings, and meeting all the folks who had prayed for them and for us.
We were able to make it home at 8pm for their last feeding last night - a half an hour later than they normally would eat. Charlie started crying out around 6:30pm, and our deal with each other was if another woke up, we would pull over and attempt to feed all 3 at a rest stop. But unfortunately for Charlie, and fortunately for us, Win and Wes continued to sleep on. We couldn't get home fast enough. But it was so emotionally and physically necessary to just be home. After 2.5 weeks on the road, 4 different places to sleep, we are all thankful to be home, but are overjoyed with the visits with family and friends.
