July 9-10
We flew into Oakland on the 8th and spent the day with Grandma Karen. The girls were so excited to be there. I was just relieved we made it! I love flying and have always prided myself on being well prepared and keeping my kids controlled on an airplane. This particular flight through me off though. I had a mini panic attack at the airport when I realized I had to fly with all three kids, by myself, for the first time, during Lucas's naptime! Lucas ended up crying for the first 20 minutes of the flight because he was so tired and just wanted to be in his crib. I avoided eye contact with the other passengers until he fell asleep! He was an angel for the whole rest of the flight, and I got compliments by the end. It is definitely stressful flying with an infant because you are completely at their mercy with the kind of mood they will be in! I gave him a C grade because of his poor beginning and fantastic end. Emilyn got a D, but I can't remember why! Probably for whining and crying when she didn't get her way. Matisyn was amazing. She entertained herself and helped me when I needed it, so she got an A! I was happy we were driving home and that the flying portion of travel was over. We had arrived!
We only had one night there and then we headed to Folsom to visit Mike, Alison, Jens, Sylvie, and their new baby, Cora. I was so excited to hold the new baby and to visit with my buddy. Lucky for me, my kids are always just as excited to see their buddies, so everyone was happy and had a great time. We just stayed around the house mostly since Cora was only 5 weeks old, and the kids just wanted time to play together. We did spend the morning at the park. Lucas got to swing for the first time and loved it. Alison got some cute pictures of him swinging and of the kids all lined up on bicycles together, but so far we can't get them to come through email to me. I'll add them when I get them. Thanks for a great visit!
