When Noah was four weeks old, he boarded his first flight from SFO to BWI. At 3.5 he should have his own frequent flyer number! Both our boys, en utero and out, have enjoyed (or suffered through) countless flights over most of North America. We've traveled on planned trips--on the Bart, Amtrak, red-eyes and in rentals. We've also traveled on unplanned trips in caravans with strangers and rented carseats. We've slept in tents, on friends' futons, in fancy hotels and in dirt-floored cabins. It's busy, and yes, often several unpacked suitcases remain as month-long fixtures on our bedroom floor. We love the adventure, though. The experiences of seeing new places (or re-experiencing old ones) and being with family and friends just inspires us. We also have two fearless boys now - it fits our family dynamic well.
We just returned from N. California and North Carolina. The N.C. trip was one for the record books. We met our new cousin/newphew: Cameron (Cam) Thomas Raynor. I am madly in love!
While we remain in flight, it grounds us to be with our families. Carly has always been both my sister and best friend. I admire her so much. Being with her family during this special time was something I will always remember! I have eons of pictures to go through, most notably ones of my handsome new nephew, Cam!
Until then, some recentlys:
Little Beauty, Ayla and her beautiful Mum, Kari (so good to meet you baby girl!)
At the campground, by Big Sur River and hiking in the Redwoods, screaming at the Pacific...
Meeting new friends - hi Chloe!

Love the "Girls" picture - wish you were looking at the cam though, it was totally worth you missing your flight over! LOL
Noah looks at home on Pfieffer. You should *DEF* move back.
