we're not in Kansas anymore

We are back home, and happy.  Audrey and I missed Jeremiah and Kip a whole lot.  They welcomed us with a clean house and yummy take out from our favorite restaurant.

We had such a great time with family in KC, and wish we lived closer and could see each other often.  I know we would meet for lunch, have barbecues in the backyard, have girl talks, and I would get makeovers, like all the time.

As for flying with a toddler, by myself,  It was easier than I thought. The Ergo is definitely my best advice, and from what I saw at the airport, it seems to be the carrier of choice for flying ( :

I spotted other babywearers right away, giving each other a babywearer nod or smile.

I recommend packing snacks (purchasing snacks on the plane or airport is really expensive), crayons and coloring books.   We also watched a movie on my laptop during the flight.

I read two great books during my trip, and can't wait to tell you more.

For now... here are more pictures from our trip:
