Leavin on a Jet Plane!!!


Here we go again, folks! I must say that I'm less rose-colored-glasses about the flight this time around. Last time just wasn't that fun. Can't say I'm really too excited about it. Excited about the destination in Idaho, yes. Visiting grandparents with Gwen, oh yeah. Spring break in general and getting to hang out with Eric no test-strings attached, no question! But towing along a 4 1/2 month old who is just starting to get the hang of a nap and bed time routine and doesn't like slight disruptions in her groove... doesn't really strike me as an adventure this time around. At least Eric will be with me this time. He's so much better at handling that kind of stress. Maybe I just need to work on my positive thinking. "no blowouts... no blowouts... no blowouts..."

And I need to pack. and do the cloth diaper laundry. and the regular laundry so we have clothes to put in those suitcases. And take books back to the library. And clean the toilets. And do the dishes. and why am I writing this post again? ;)

wish us luck with tomorrow's flight!

  1. Oh Elisa! Good luck! I wish I was heading to Idaho now too! Katie just got home from her mission. We'll be there this summer, hopefully. I'll be sending good thoughts your way. Traveling only gets harder. I bought almost every book, puzzle and toy from the dollar section of Target before any flights are taken with Hultz. :) Love you!

  3. Well, this grandma can hardly wait to get her hands on all of you, but I imagine the baby will tolerate it better than the grown ups! :)
    No blow outs....no blow outs.....no blow outs....

  5. Good luck with the trip! I hope it goes swimmingly . . . and if not, at least you will come home with some cute pictures for Gwen to remember the trip by. :)

  6. I hope it went well since you're probably there, and that your trip home is good too. I agree, it is always nicer to have the Dad close by to help. Even if you were alone, and your baby was fussin', who could be mad at that cute? : )
