Traveling with the family

I am so grateful... we just returned from Florida where Reese officially completed her 4th trip on the Airplane and she did so well! With the exception of attempting to touch the heads of the people who sit in front of us...she does great. By the end of every flight it is a given that we have made friends with the people in front and behind us (even if we don't want to). Reese has a way with her smile and saying "hi" over and over that people just can not resist. Anyway, all of this talk to say that flying for us as a family has been fun. Of course you always need to bring along the snack, the books and the favorite toy...but we are making the most of the "free" flights for Reese until she is 2. We have at least one more coming up! We flew to Florida to visit our friends the Kirklands (and their newest addition baby Jayde) and the Becker family. Reese had a great time with all of the big kids! Trent, Brie, Dax of the Becker family and Trace and Jayde of the Kirkland family. Reese tried to keep up with the big kids...they were great about playing with her. The most fun for her was chasing Trace from one end of the house to the other. A priceless moment for Sharis and I was while we were waiting in the car for the guys, baby Jayde began to make those funny baby faces (she was working on something) but the best part was that Reese was watching her and it got her funny bone going. She began to belly laugh and had tears coming out of her eyes because she was laughing so hard. Sharis and I could hardly keep our laughter in as well. If those laughter commercials are right, Sharis, Reese and I added at least 8 years to our lives with that one! Brie, Trace, Trent, Dax and Reese running away.
