We had a great weekend in Maryland for Jere, Tim's brother's wedding. We left Thursday evening and LJ experienced his first plane ride...It was, well, an event:) I felt like we'd never traveled by plane before. Security was a fun experience and we held up the line as we unpacked our shoes, coats, etc. Lucky for us, the guy behind us had 4 boys and said it was no problem. LJ loved the plane, but was restless the last 15 minutes. Since our flight was delayed by the time we landed it was way past his bedtime and oh, you could tell! We made it to our hotel and we were happy to put an exhausted LJ to bed. The plane ride home was much better - it helps when you are up at 3AM and he gets up with you. By the time our 6:45 AM flight rolled onto the runway for take-off he was out like a light!
Jere and Laura's wedding was beautiful and we had a great time blending the old and new family, as well as seeing relatives and friends we haven't seen since our wedding. LJ was a huge hit and looked quite spiffy in his "nice" clothes. We don't have many reasons to get dressed up so I assured the daycare I'd be sending him in a few outfits so they could see him. I don't have a ton of pics, but as soon as I get some from Judy and Dore (Tim's parents) I'll post them...or if I can get him to sit still, I'll take some pics of him in the outfits before he leaves for daycare in the morning.
One of my favorite moments of the trip was LJ's discovery of "cake". He was so excited to bring me "cake" our first morning at the hotel - "Momma, cake!" The cake was actually a muffin, but from that point forward muffins became "cake". LJ must've felt very fortunate because he had "cake" for breakfast and then at night he had cake for dessert too! I have bought muffin mix so now he can have "cake" on Saturday mornings.
