Reunited

Nate's first stops in Chicago were to see his grandparents who he hadn't seen since June and July when he was half the size! Later than night Momma and Auntie Beth went to celebrate Auntie Bridget's birthday with her friends.

First flight

Mommy and Daddy had a LOT of gear at the airport, which garnered more than a few comments from well-meaning strangers. But Nate was a real trooper on his first flight from DC to Chicago. He was awake but happy the whole flight. Tiny bit of fussing on the descent but he was fast asleep by the time we landed. Take that, lady in front of us who have us the stink eye when we sat down!

X-Mas Card Photo Fail

Some outtakes from our Christmas card photo shoots...

Daddy, get these off my head...

Momma, what's with this goofy hat?

Another tree - can I eat it?

No more photo shoots!

Why can't you just leave the drool on my face?

Not quite the look of Christmas Wonder we were going for.

Santa, come here ... I want to slobber on you.

Really, guys?  This is SO embarrassing.
