My little traveler has already visited 3 states in her six short weeks of being alive. She’s practically a world traveler.
Her first trip was to the Green Country of Northeastern Oklahoma to visit her Okie relatives. Mainly this sweet great-grandmother who just so happens to share her birthday.
There’s only a mere 94 years difference in their ages.
We attended a wedding and EK put on a skirt, or rather a tutu, for the first time in her little life.
One shoe on and one shoe off. Sounds like a nursery rhyme.
It was her first outing besides doctor checkups and of course, we forgot the diaper bag. And of course, we needed the diaper bag.
This past Saturday, we celebrated more birthdays. I turned 37, and EK turned 6 weeks old. We celebrated with chocolate cake and tall glasses of whole milk while visiting more relatives in the mountains of New Mexico.
We sat by a crackling fire and watched the pine branches grow heavy with wet, fluffy snow and enjoyed good food and great hosts.
And now we’re back in the Lone Star State, nailing our feet to the prairie grasses.

I’m Angel, a.k.a. Rocket Surgeon, and these are my chronicles. I love writing and I believe our stories should be shared, so here you’ll find anecdotes of my life, loves, worries, fears, joys, and experiences.
I blog about my mishaps and adventures as a wife, mommy, auntie, wanna-be writer, teacher, Texan, country/city/mountain girl, cereal killer and Jesus-freak.
A few things you might discover about me:
•Jesus is my everything; without Him I am nothing, but with him I can do all things
•My family makes this world a better place for me to live in
•I adore chickens, the live ones, although the cooked ones aren’t too bad either
•I have 2 dogs: Grace and Ozzie. And one cat: Rocky Muffin
•My dream job would be to raise chickens and write best sellers
Thanks for stopping by. Kick off your shoes and stay awhile. I know your time is valuable and I honor you for spending a few moments here with me. I hope you find something to brighten your day, lighten your load, make you chuckle and remind you of the good in the world.

Oh, I’m so happy to hear that Emma Kate has a “real” Great Grandma (besides this self-appointed, unrelated GiGi) and how precious is that beautiful photo of the two of them! I know how pleased your grandmother must have been to have spent some time with her. We went to a family function this past weekend and got to see all five of our great grandbabies!! Came home exhausted and covered with sticky handprints and who knows what else but we sure were “happy campers”! I adore the tutu outfit, by the way, and i feel terrible that this poor child has no cute outfits to wear … (ha.ha) I’d venture to quess she probably has not wore the same thing twice!! Thanks so much for the update and most of all for the photos. I wait patiently for them (really, I do!) Until next time … Donna H. (GiGi)

Angel! These pictures are adorable. EK is a cutie! She looks much older than 6wks in the frilly outfit. Cute cute stuff! Happy birthday to your Okie relative, and happy birthday to you, too, Angel.
Don’t forget the diaper bag! 🙂
