We're in North Carolina for a little vacation. We hadn't planned on coming back this year, but Southwest had a sale, so here we are. We left Denver Monday morning very early. It was 5 degrees as we dragged our stuff--four suitcases, two carry-ons, a stroller, two car seats, a 2 year old, and a 3 month old--through the snow from economy parking. We made it, eventually, and boarded the plane to Nashville.
Eli did pretty well on the flight, especially once he got to watch "car movie" ("Cars"). Amos was pretty unimpressed by his first flight, although he did pretty well. The flight was maybe half full, and it's amazing how big a perimeter you can get from having a toddler and an infant on board. Nobody sat anywhere near us, until this family with FOUR kids plopped down nearby.
Yesterday morning we took Eli down to the playground. Amos found a warm place to snuggle.
Eli learned how to walk on the balance beam at his gymnastics class, so he showed off his skills at the playground.
Just taking it all in.
After a couple of days of being in airplanes and cars and stuck in the house, Eli was glad to get out and about.
Steering the ship.
Eli loves throwing rocks into the creek.
This was his last rock, a very big one. Note the big splash.
Afterward, we gave the kids a bath. This was their first time in the tub together.
Note the differing reactions. Eli thought it was cool, and Amos screamed his head off.
Amos, post-bath.
He's starting to drool quite a bit. Maybe a tooth is coming?
He's super-smiley lately, and we've even had a little bit of laughing from him (but haven't gotten it on video).
Amos has found his toes. He likes to gnaw on them.
Yesterday afternoon we went to see our friends Priscilla and Russell, and their daughter Abby, who was born 3 days before Amos. We're arranging a marriage.
Eli wasn't sure why everyone wanted to just sit around and talk.
Merry Christmas!

I love the picture of Abby and Amos on the floor staring lovingly into each other's eyes! :)
