A Trip To Saint Charles, MO for Christmas

Maddox put on his warm and fuzzy hat and get ready to head to the Midwest to spend Christmas with his Meme and Papa Nurse! All smiles on the way to the airport to catch a flight to MO. Mommy and Daddy are really hoping that he is all smiles on the plane on the way there!

Well as you can see by his watery eyes he was not really all smiles. We ended up sitting on the runway for two hours before take off after an hour delay at DFW. Needless to say, all the planning we did to make sure we booked a flight around nap time was down the drain. One of the sweet flight attendants came over after seeing the helplessness on our faces and said "Sometimes babies like the things that don't cost a penny. How about you try this!"

She handed us a small plastic cup and it was a life saver! He played with this silly plastic cup for half of the flight and gave himself, Greg and I as well as all the passengers a break.

We sat in a section where we could see about 5 or 6 other kids....

Maddox was the loudest...

and certainly the Cutest!

And then there were these brief moments where he slept sweetly on me. I cherished every moment because I don't get these at home that often anymore. Our boy loves to be in his bed when its time to sleep!

Our first flight with Maddox was quite an experience.

It was fun, stressful and quite memorable.

The movie theatre of memories in my mind bookmark all of these precious FIRSTS that we share with our boy! I love my life.
