Anxiety

is the reason for Maddux and Maggie's first flight. Spence was out of town all week, and I could not BEAR the thought of upon his return then getting in a car and driving over 12 hours with 4 kids, and stopping to nurse the baby every 2 hours. Thank you delta and frequent flier miles!

Spence drove the van with the 2 big kids down, while I waited for an evening flight.

Maddux was a basket case when we had to have the movie player turned off. With a movie and Biscoff, he was a happy clam. He was also sitting next to a 6th grade boy, who gave him bones and high fives.

Highlights of the trip:

Changed 2 poopy diapers on my lap, and then stuck them in my diaper bag to save for later.

Sitting in an aisle seat and nursing twice. Not AWKWARD at all.

Spence and the kids beat me to Grandma and Grandpa's house by an hour! The kids were so happy with themselves. They did not stop from Primm to Poway in a race against my Plane.
