Howdy, guys! C and I are back in Texas after a long weekend in NC! We had SO much fun with Aunt Audrey and Sam! You can see Audrey's post about the weekend here.

Thanks for all of your advice on flying with a toddler! The flight there on Thursday was PERFECT! C had a minor breakdown going through security because I had to take her snack cup away and send it through the x-ray scanner, but after that she was a gem! They moved us to the back of the plane where there was an empty seat next to mine. She loved sitting in her own seat like a big girl. She didn't even flinch when we took off or landed. After a couple of books (and a flip through the Sky Mall Magazine), I gave her 2 teething tablets and she slept the rest of the trip! Three words for anyone flying with a toddler...Hyland's Teething Tablets! Those saved me on both flights! The flight home on Sunday was very crowded, but we made it!

Here are a few pics from our fast and furious trip!


C and Sam in the bathtub! They loved splashing and playing and putting bubbles on each other's heads!

Is she a cheese-ball or what? We went to a fantastic museum on Friday. They had a big display outside with all kinds of musical things for the kids to bang on. C was cautious at first, but warmed up nicely!

Gosh, she's a big girl! Not a little baby any more! She was SO proud of herself just walking all around, looking at the animals and waving at the other children. Made her mommie beam!

Sam was happy to offer a hug! It was precious seeing them interact!

Audrey and I both enjoyed looking in the back seat and seeing our little sweeties! This pic was taken after a delicious lunch at Chic-Fil-A!

Thanks for having us, Audrey & Sam!

P.S. We had professional pics made of Sam and C while we were in NC. Carrie is a friend of Audrey's and she took some beautiful shots. I'll post more later!!

  2. We had so much fun with you guys! Come back soon - Sam ate way more when Clara was at the table with him and Aunt Corrie was cutting his fruit and making monkey noises.

  3. Loved this post! How fun for two friends! Of course, you know I loved the idea of a photo shoot. I can't wait for you to forward the photo link so I can look at little Clara! So, so glad you joined us last night for dinner. Mark your calendar for each first Tuesday. We'd love to have you!
