A Quick Trip to the Midwest

We flew up to Illinois to introduce our newest addition to the fam.  The 2 1/2 hour flight was an eventful ride, to say the least.  We arrived at the gate about an hour early and ate some breakfast.  Stu and Brody sat at the gate while Liv and I went to get the food.  I wore a Moby Wrap with Livi so I could hold her and the food at the same time.  I'm sure it was a sight to see.:)  There never was a dull moment traveling with two kids under two.  Sissy did FANTASTIC on the plane and slept the whole way there.  Brody, on on the other hand, had a different agenda.  He did well for a 1 1/2 year old.  Thank goodness for technology!! Our portable DVD player entertained him for most of the trip, except for those restless moments where he stood on his chair to talk to the people behind us.  The last 40 minutes of the plane ride both kiddos were asleep.  Ah, what a beautiful sight it was.

We were very excited for everyone to meet our sweet baby girl.  Brody and Livi enjoyed playing with all their buddies.  It was the first time Livi met her cousins on the Blade/Tweryon side.  Hadley was especially excited to love on her.  It was too cute!!

During our stay, one of my good friends from high school stopped by with her little boy Caden.  Caden is actually a little over a week older than Livi.  Who knows..he might be a potential suitor?!?!

We ended the trip at the Hilton Garden.  We got a hotel room so all the cousins on both sides could swim.  It was Liv's first time in the pool.  She was not a fan.  We had her in the pool long enough to take a picture.  Brody, on the other hand, had a blast.  He couldn't get enough of it!! It was also the first night away from Livi.  She stayed with Granny and Papa Don, while Brody stayed with Nana and Papa Clark.  Thank you guys for all that you do!! It was almost TOO quiet for Stu and I to fall asleep that night.
