Lydia Grace Barron and Molly Joy Barron

Last week we took Lydia on her first plane trip! All the way to Morgan Hill, California. I had business in San Francisco, so we decided to make it a family trip to visit extended family just outside the city (Oliver's Aunt, Uncle and cousins). Oliver and I were definitely intimidated by the idea - How will Lydia sleep? How will she do on the plane? How much food and diapers and toys do we bring? What else do we need from Wal-Mart before we leave? Will she nap well before we leave? There were highs and lows for little Lydia, and for her parents (!!) but overall she did great. The plane didn't seem to bother her ears at all, but she did melt down a few times because she was tired and annoyed that she couldn't move around.

While waiting for our flight at DFW Airport, we tried to let her walk around as much as possible to get it out of her system.

Yea! We arrived at San Jose airport! Good job Lyds! You made it!

We stayed with Aunt Cindy in Morgan Hill. Her home is beautiful, as are the surroundings! There were deer and horses and turkeys (!) that we could see from the balcony.

Lydia was fascinated by this music box! There are little ballroom dancers inside of it. She could have watched it for hours, I think.

More to come! I need to log off for awhile.
