I know that I've been promising a big entry about our trip, but I just feel distracted right now. I can't really focus. I mean, I've been holding on to some of this stuff for about six months now.
So, here's the super quick skinny on our trip:
The trip out was looooooong. We took a red-eye from Seattle to Boston. Katie slept with her feet on Huzbend's lap and her head on mine. She got pretty decent sleep. We, on the other hand, did not.
Baby Matthew was as cuddly as advertised. He held up well to the almost constant attention. He also survived Katie playing games of chicken with his swing.
Katie really only managed to wake him up a couple of times. I know one time was because he dropped his binky and she wanted to give it back (shove it into his mouth while he is sleeping) and another time because "Baby Matthew wanted a toy" (shove it into his face while he is sleeping).
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
And, now Baby Matthew knows what we all know.
Sometimes his Uncle is a very strange man.
Katie and her cuz Joey had an awesome time running, jumping, hugging, yelling, throwing and laughing. We also got to wish my youngest sis a happy 30th birthday and eat some yummy pizza/burgers/BLTs.
Enough of this posing for pictures stuff. Can we go play now?
There was also Uncle C's birthday and Easter to celebrate as well! It was all kicked off with an outdoor Egg Hunt and a couple of Easter baskets full of goodies.
I see another EGG!
After the great search was over. Katie got down to business laying out her loot.
The trip back wasn't too bad. Katie was awake for most of it. We spent some time reading and coloring in some Thomas coloring books and then she watched videos on the portable DVD player. I watched with her......Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, Barney and eventually CARS. She fell asleep for the last hour or so of the flight.
We had a great time getting a little quality time with the families.
Big THANK YOUs go out to:
Auntie S and Uncle C for opening their house to us for the weekend and for doing the whole Easter Egg thing for Katie.
Auntie K and Uncle Junior for hosting the family get together that same weekend.
Everyone else for all the gifts!
As a cool side note to our trip. Katie received a DoodlePro in one of her Easter baskets and decided to draw "happy faces" for us for the first time. Totally awesome.
