Our little traveler enjoyed a plane flight to Atlanta last weekend to celebrate his cousin Ann’s third birthday! Ann’s birthday conveniently coincided with the wedding of my sister’s very best friend growing up, Jessica. Jessica lived next door to us and was like a member of our family, so it was so great to get to enjoy her wedding. Bonuses were that Katie was a bridesmaid and Ann was a flower girl! We had a wonderful time in Atlanta spending time with family (including my parents, who were also in town for the wedding) and my good friends Molly and John, who were kind enough to host George, Charlie and me over the weekend! I don’t get down to Atlanta nearly enough since my parents moved away, so it was a treat to spend the weekend there.
Here’s a photo of Charlie on the flight on the way down. It may look like he’s asleep, but really he was engrossed in the safety procedures. He found the pictures fascinating, and spent a good part of the trip down reviewing them.
We had a great time with Molly, John and Julia. Charlie especially loved his inflatable mattress in Julia’s room!
Here are the kiddos and their dads enjoying some early morning reading.
Sunday was sweet Ann’s third birthday, so a bonus of going down last weekend was the ability to celebrate with her on her big day.
I think she had fun!
Charlie was so tired on the way home that he fell asleep the second we were in the air, and didn’t even wake up during the very bumpy landing. What a fun weekend!
Charlie has a new habit of getting up EARLY, generally before I leave the house for work. We now have a ritual – he comes out of his bedroom and comes to watch me “Mommy blow her dry hair”, as he calls it, and then I give him a big hug and kiss and he goes to the window and blows me kisses as I get in the car and drive off. It’s pretty much the cutest thing ever. Sometimes he’ll say, “I see you soon, Mommy”. The first few times, he cried as I left which bummed me out, but now he holds it together. Last night, when I got home from work, he said, “I missed you, Mommy”. So sweet. On the weekends, he says, “Mommy no go to work?” when he catches onto the fact that I’m not rushing around like a crazy person. We love our weekends!
Speaking of loving weekends, Charlie’s in for a special treat this weekend. His beloved Ms. Lynne, last year’s preschool teacher, is coming for lunch on Saturday! She has checked in with me a couple of times this year to see how Charlie’s doing, so I asked if she and her son, who is Charlie’s age, wanted to come over for lunch and some play time and she was game. I can’t wait to see his little face when he realizes Ms. Lynne is coming for a visit!
