Lily had quite the big adventure recently -she flew for the first time to New York to visit our good friends, the McFarland's! I was admittedly a little nervous doing this by myself with Lily, but we both did fine! In fact, she really did great - slept on all legs of the flight (which I'm sure all passengers sitting next to us were quite pleased with as well). Coming home from NY we were in 1st class so Lil' was really flying in style. It was definitely nice having a little extra leg room.
The trip was so nice and it was awesome seeing Kelly and Joel and their 2 children: Cooper (3 yrs) and Macy (10 months). We had a great time walking along the Erie Canal, playing at the park, making meals...and yummy cookies, going to see Kelly's parent's lakehouse on Lake Seneca, and just relaxing and catching up. Cooper cracks me up...he loves playing cars and asking questions about everything. When I was putting on a little makeup one morning, Coop stood right by my side asking, "WHAT are you doing!?" After I put a little glossy chapstick on, he replied, "you are soooo pretty." He probably said that 3 or 4 times. I need him around more often! He was really cute with Macy and Lily - he's a good big brother.
I couldn't have asked for a better trip. They are such good friends and I would've normally been in tears leaving, but they'll be traveling to Cincy for the Flying Pig Marathon which is in a short week and 1/2, so it wasn't too hard. I really miss having them close by - to say that is such an understatement! However, I know they are life long friends and we'll be visiting back and forth until we're old and gray. :)
Doesn't it look like they're having a hoot!
Lily is thinking, "seriously mom, look at the get-up you have me in..."
This picture cracks me up - Lily loving the exersaucer in the background and Cooper saying, "CHEESE!"
The beautiful view of Seneca Lake at the Carpenter's lakehouse.
Thanks for a great trip!!!
