Heading Home for Homecoming - Day 1

Last weekend, we headed to Missouri for Mizzou's Homecoming. Last weekend was my first football game at Mizzou since my senior year, so I was really excited to go. I took a LOT of pictures, so I'm going to break up the blog posts.

We left on Thursday, so we could have time to go see my family. As always, we're not really thrilled with the 8 hour drive, but we make the most of it.

This time, we got stuck in construction traffic. Boo! So, what's a bored girl to do? Take pictures of it!

Garth talking on the phone as we sit in traffic.

Meanwhile, Bailey just sleeps in the back seat. Isn't she cute?!?!

When we finally got out of the construction traffic, it was dusk in St. Louis. I thought the sky looked so cool behind the arch. This photo was taken as we were crossing the Mississippi River while in the car, so it doesn't nearly do it justice!

Fashion Show...sorta

Last week, Bailey and Garth got some new things. Grandma Marj (my mom) sent Bailey a lovely orange Halloween scarf. And Garth got some new glasses. It was time for new glasses anyway, but we were forced to get new ones after Bailey decided Garth's glasses would make an excellent chew toy. I guess they must have fallen off the bedside table in the middle of the night. At about 3 a.m. one night we hear a crunching noise. And by then, Garth's glasses were a mangled mess.

Anyway, with all this new stuff, I decided we needed pictures. However, neither Bailey or Garth were as excited about a "fashion show" as I was.

"Seriously, mom, do you HAVE to take my picture?"
(The second picture was Bailey mid-bark. I was holding a bone over the camera. I thought picture was funny.)

Finally, a smile! Isn't her scarf cute? I love the fraidy cats on it!

Garth avoiding getting his picture taken.


That's better! I think his new glasses are cool, don't you?
