Our latest travels took us to OH and back...
We drove up I-77 through the mountains!
So, what do we do to help so many hours in a Toyota Camry go faster for a very energetic recently-turned-five-year-old and a vigorous three-and-a-half-month-old?
Here's a glimpse...
Elizabeth is thrilled that DJM has recently discovered his hands and is learning to grasp objects – including her fingers!
DJM also enjoys interacting with his reflection in the backseat mirror, and Elizabeth loves to draw! JellyCat is always willing to jump in and help out with the entertaining, too.
Here's some of Elizabeth's latest artwork:
DJM loves high-contrast patterns and bright colors; those come in many shapes and sizes – including warning labels on car seats! (He reads those only on burping breaks, of course!)
inspired by "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle
On a playground slide with DJM
(imagining what playing with him will be like someday...)
I love the action lines of her stick figures!

The pictures on the current bags at Wendy's are also highly entertaining!
Elizabeth loves to sing! (By the way, Patch the Pirate is a great travel companion.)
JM does most of the driving...
Most of the time, I ride in the back seat with the little people: supervising, entertaining, meeting miscellaneous needs – and taking pictures! (Of course!)

Boy, I do remember the hours in the car. Ugh!
I do, too! And now I'm on the other side... :o)
I often think of the story of the "enthusiasm cheer" for your family on deputation. Along those lines, JM and I have a little dialogue we often repeat. I'll have to post it here one of these days... ;o)
You know how to pray with real understanding for us, my friend!
Great pictures!!! I feel like I'm right there in the car with you guys!
I sure had fun taking the pictures! (Imagine that! Hee! Hee!)
