Catching Up

My goodness, things have been busy lately! It seems like we keep going through phases where life is a crazy shuffle of scurrying around to attend to this and that. Unfortunately, blogging has fallen by the wayside in these busy couple of weeks. I'll have to go back and fill in some gaps later, but here are some pics of our Easter journey. (I can't find my camera at the moment - maybe we left it?! - so these are just the pictures I had on my phone. Hopefully, I'll be able to post better ones soon.) We took our Kumquat to Midland, TX, to visit her daddy's family for the holiday. Among other highlights, it was our K's first flight! K and I left on Wednesday by ourselves, since her daddy had to work until Friday. I was so nervous, but she was awesome... slept a ton and made lots of new friends. We had such a great visit and can't wait to go back. (Although I can wait to go through the hassle of packing and unpacking again!)

Waiting at the airport for our first leg of the trip
Ready for takeoff!
Sweet girl fell asleep during takeoff and
slept straight through the landing. Phew!
We had a 4 hour lay-over in Dallas,
so we found some creative ways to pass the time...


Back on the plane and back to sleep.
Am I the luckiest mommy ever or what?
Once we arrived in Midland, K had a great time playing with her Lola

Thursday, we went to the mall, to church and then
out to dinner with Lola, Lolo and Tita Aileen

Friday started off so well, as we eagerly awaited
the arrival of Daddy, Tita Kit and Tito Michael...
...but ended with a poor, sick baby who had a 103.6 fever and had to make a visit to the pediatrician.

Fortunately, a little Tylenol, a good friend, and
a new jumper make for a much happier baby girl.


Saturday was mostly resting for K. She was feeling better,
but still had a fever of 102.3 by Saturday night. Poor baby.
By Sunday, she was feeling much better! Sadly, most of my Easter pics are on the camera, so you'll have to wait for them. Lola & Lolo had a big party to celebrate the engagement of Tita Kit & Tito Michael... and to introduce our Kumquat to all of their friends.
Oh, and to celebrate Easter. :)
Being the diva that she is, K naturally needed a full
wardrobe change from her church clothes to her party clothes...

All too quickly, the fun times were at an end
and we had to head back home...

Fortunately, K was in a good mood and ready to fly!



And before we knew it, we were back in Kansas!
We had a great trip! I'm so relieved that K traveled so well... Especially since we're going to Phoenix next week! Crazy. Daddy has a conference there, so K & I are tagging along. We're super-excited to get to see some old friends we've missed like crazy! I have to confess, though, that I'm not so pumped to be traveling again so soon. Really, I'm pooped!
