Thank you Parents

 For surviving the infant stage, messes, my crying, sickness and changing my stinky bum.

 For showing me an amazing world to discover and explore, and then letting me go explore it.

For teaching me the value of education and individual worth, preparing me to pass on everything you taught to my baby.

Thanks for bringing me to earth 26 years ago!

We Gave Thanks!

I am not going to do captions on this picture overload blog. 

A) because Charlotte's expressions speak for themselves and 

B) there is too much pressure to be creative and I am tired right now.

Crystal did an amazing job with Thanksgiving at her house! It was PERFECT!

 After Crystal's we went to The Farley's...LOVE them!

The next day we went up to Tollhouse to The Littles' and had more Thanksgiving day food, talked to mini ponies and did some skee shooting. It was gorgeous up there!

 Charlotte loves my cousin Matthew, I wanted to bring him home with me! Whenever he is around Charlotte sits still! It is amazing! She talks to him and sits on his lap for hours!

 Teagan is SO Cute! I love her lots! She is such a sweet-heart!

 Charlotte found this broken lolli-pop in our cousins room...obviously we all know she will eat ANYTHING!

 Saying good-bye to Matthew :)

 Charlotte and I stayed and visited a while longer than Blair so we took the train home. This is while we were waiting in Fresno.

We love you Uncle go-Benson!

 How she spent most of the time on the train...I didn't have the DVD player this time and I was surprised at how well she did.

It was a fun week! But, I am happy to be home!

First Flight with Blair

I'm Ready Mom!

Protective ear gear, check. (Charlotte ear plugs, mommy headphones with a microphone I didn't figure out until halfway through the flight.)

Take off in Davis. Blair is so great at flying! His landing was so smooth!

She watched out the window half the time, played with chapstick and finger puppets and slept the other half.

He is a natural and loves flying! I am so glad he loves what he is doing!

Winds on the Pacific in the San Francisco Bay

This is how she fell asleep on the way back.

This is the Livermoore Airport that we landed at before we headed back to Davis University Airport. We had intended to do the "Bay Tour" but the clouds and weather did not cooperate. Next time we hope for sunshine, San Fran is not famous for that though...
