A cold trip home

Brrr! That is what we were saying ever since we got to Kansas....and even on the ride there. If you haven't seen, this is what our car looked like when we got to Topeka.

We left right after Steven got off work on Friday to try and beat the worst of the storm, which I suppose we did...but it was still cold and icy. We had to keep stopping in Oklahoma to bang the ice off the windshield wipers, but other than that, the road really weren't that bad. Praise be to God for getting us home safely, in good time, and even with a good toddler, sleeping the evening away.
Our trip back to Texas was in much better weather, although it was super windy. Emma didn't do quite as well, but since they have changed so many speed limits to 75mph, we still made it in 12 hours, with two stops. We are glad to be home...Emma loved getting to see her toys. :) Here are some pictures from our ride back. ( I will be posting pictures that I took while in KS all week, so keep checking.)
Mom, this phone is broken, which it is. 

This one works! 
Every time she put the phone up to her ear she said, "Hello." I don't know if they could hear her, but she did talk to them. It was so cute.
It's grandma!
We called Emma's grandmas on our trip home. She misses them dearly. We do not, however, miss the cold. Our high today is 69. It is good to be home. :)
