Summer Vacation Day 1

After a month of melting in the heat, we decided it would be a good idea for Macy and me to fly to Washington and spend some time with our families. It was a hard decision because we knew we would miss each other so much!!! But we agreed that we would video chat and take pictures every day. I also thought that I would blog everyday. This is more for Andy than for anyone else, so sorry if we bore everyone with hundreds of pictures of Macy doing seemingly the exact same thing, but we want to make Andy feel like he is with us.

So today we left our apartment at about 4 AM and took a taxi to the airport. The lady who checked us in was nice enough to let Andy go to the gate with us so he was able to see us off. After a tearful goodbye we boarded the plane. Macy was pretty good while we were in the air, but each time we landed (in Chicago and Salt Lake) she was fussy. It was difficult to carry her and all our carry on luggage, but everyone was very helpful which was greatly appreciated. We did have a leaky bottle, a diaper mishap, and very little sleep to go on so a few more tears were shed by Mommy before the day was done.



We got to go see Grandpa Steve and Uncle Kyle at work and when they got home we went out to eat at a Chinese restaurant to celebrate our arrival back in Washington.



Macy was a little fussy this evening, but that wore off as the night went on. She was babbling so I tried to get a video, but she stopped and instead studied the camera which seems to be her favorite thing to do these days.





Macy enjoys riding in the car while Uncle Ryan and Uncle Eric sing songs to her even though these pictures don't really seem to show any enjoyment!



Macy got a new mobile from GeGe Denise. She studied it very carefully before falling asleep.



Macy was a tired girl by the end of the day and fell asleep shortly after this picture!
