this time destination = kansas city, missouri.
why?!? you may ask, well because...
a.) it's been way to long since mama has been and seen her sister.
b.) so we could finally get our hands on meet your new little cousin Jude.
c.) wish aunt kindle a happy birthday!
c.) wish aunt kindle a happy birthday!
d.) why not?!?
so with one rather large suitcase (luckily right at 49 lbs), a stroller and a big bag of everything to keep you entertained, we said our goodbyes to daddy. i'll spare you with all the travel details, cut right to the chase, and tell you, you received compliments from everyone who sat near us on the plane. yes buddy, partly because you are quite handsome but also because you were asleep for most of the flight. i think that translates as "oh my! what a good little boy you have!"
we were so happy to be picked up by your aunt kindle and all your cousins (because our flight came in a little early, they got to skip a little bit of school. i think we were all happy about that!)
we enjoyed our time there so much! we shopped together and met up with friends that mama has definitely missed! kindle and kent's new house is simply beautiful and well you, jack, fell for the stairs or shall i say "down" the stairs. (daddy is so proud lately you are aware of a drop in front of you when you are walking. well, sadly, i think i know why.) but hey, we survived and yet you were still amused by them. let's just say mama felt safer in the basement. all one level, hidden stairs and everything we needed.
okay so as much as we enjoyed our stay there, on the last day i realized how different it was to travel to my sisters as a "mama." with her newest addition and me chasing my own around, where were our opportunities to take pictures!?! hence all our pictures before we got on the flight home.
we were so sad to leave kansas city and kindle's beautiful family but happy to see daddy at home. it helps to know the holidays are just around the corner :)
