The Grand Canyon State

When Tootz said she was going to see Russell and Jodee over President's Day, I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to get out of the cold and go see them. I was nervous about taking LC on a plane, but knew I could do it with my Mom's help. I also really wanted Jodee and Russell to meet LC. And for her to meet her cousins, Calvin and Wesley. On our flight to Arizona I was really nervous. She was a bit fussy, but my mom just took her and patted her back. She looked like this in no time.



This is my LC on her first flight.



We had the most amazing time!! LC got to lay on grass for the first time. I think she didn't know quite what to make of it.




We got to play in the park. This is the boys playing...




And this was LC in the park...



I guess the stroller on the way to the park was just too soothing

As for the rest of the trip. Calvin and Wesley affectionately named LC, Yacinda Cousin. Calvin especially loved his Yacinda Cousin. He kept saying...I hug you, I Kiss you. He unfortunately had a little cold so he couldn't. The next time we see them I will let him kiss her all he wants. He was also very concerned whenever LC would cry. He would inform me...Baby crying, Baby crying! Aunt Jodee took us to the ribbon store and made LC the cutest little shoes. Russell taught us all about the Paleo way of eating. All and all it was a wonderful trip. On the way home we had a majorly delayed flight and LC was a trooper. She fell right to sleep on the flight and this time I was a little more relaxed. We miss Jodee, Russell, Calvin, and Wesley already. But I told them we are going to have to visit every winter. It was so nice to see and feel the warm sun. It was just nice enough to convince me I can make it through the rest of the winter.

Glad she did well on the plane! Every time we've been on a flight (which is a lot of times in her short little life) Jillian cries at the beginning and I stress big time but she eventually falls asleep and is perfect the rest of the time!
