A Getaway

A couple weekends ago, Brannon & I got to go on a little getaway, with just one of our crazy girls! So it was a half-vacation from the kids. We went to Brannon's cousin's wedding in south Florida with Keelyn. It was a nice time - she did really well on her first flight. The only snafu was when a flight attendant told me not to nurse her on takeoff (which a friend of mine who is a flight attendant, specifically told me to do!). I was trying to tell the guy that, but he was having none of it. Brannon told me to stop, trying to avoid a scene. Then, when he walked away told me to do it again. I'd never heard of such. The attendant said it was against regulations. Not sure how it's any different than just holding a baby from a safety standpoint..... She was starving b/c I specifically was waiting to feed her on takeoff to help with her ears. So, she started screaming when I stopped feeding her. Which I know the folks around us were probably glad that I just started feeding her when he sat down for takeoff! He didn't bother us when I did the same thing for landing. Guess he realized I was gonna do it anyways.

Oh well, we made it. She did good on the plane & surprisingly did well for the 2 hour ride in the car (given her dislike of the carseat.....this was going to be her longest stint in the seat & luckily she ended up sleeping the whole time, both ways!). We had fun seeing Meemi, Poppee, & Jake & the rest of the family got to meet her. She was addicted to mommy pretty fiercely, and wouldn't let anyone else hold her, but they at least got to see how cute she is :) Our other snafu included a diaper blowout in the airport on the way home while in the baby carrier on mommy, which I discovered when I took her out to walk through security. The blowout was on her clothes AND on mine since she was right up against me...... We went on through and had a change right afterwards.

But overall a good trip. Here's a few pictures. I didn't take alot over the weekend. Carrying a baby & a camera is just too much sometimes!

Mackenzie got to spend the weekend with Granmommy & Grandaddy. Here's G-mommy with the two girls before we left.














A rare photo with Mommy that we both actually look good in! I think she definitely looks like me :)
