I don't think it's possible for a mommy to love her baby more than I love you

You Are So Stinkin' CUTE!

Sleepin' In

Dear Georgia:
I know we've been over this before, but perhaps I didn't properly explain the concept of a weekend. The weekend comes at the end of the week (hence the name week-end). All around the world people celebrate the weekend by sleeping late. Six a.m. is not late. In fact, it's two hours earlier than you get up during the week. Kindly refrain from waking me up so early.
Thanks!
Mama

Welcome, Racefans!

Is That A Bee On Your Head Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?

"Mom, Cousin Alex Stole My Toy!"

Georgia Had A Great Time At Sophie's First Birthday Party

Triple the Fun

While in Kansas City, Georgia was able to meet three of her biggest fans...the McBurney triplets (affectionately referred to as the "McTriplets"). Lorne, Sullivan and Isaac weren't sure how to react to having a girl around the house. It appears Sullivan dealt with the stress of the meeting by scratching himself (see middle above). Georgia wasn't impressed (see below).

Georgia hasn't yet decided which of the boys she'll date first, but hugs from Lorne have given him an early lead.

However, Sullivan's "putting Tyler's big shoes on his little feet" trick improved his chances.

Only time will tell which McTriplet will win Georgia's heart.

Disappointed Travelers

I realize air travel has changed quite a bit, but when did they nix the "special people" pre-board? Remember when airlines used to let "passengers traveling with small children" board early with the first class passengers? They don't do that anymore. At least American Airlines didn't do that on our flights.

We were so bummed. We were really looking forward to being first on the plane. I even had visions of sticking my tongue out at all the other waiting passengers as we moved to the front of the line to pre-board.

As if traveling with an infant weren't hard enough...

Flight Delay

You make traveling quite complicated. We thought we were being pretty sneaky by scheduling our flights during your nap time. We had a friend drop us off at the airport so we wouldn't have to deal with parking and carting our luggage across the parking lot. Then we checked our bags at the curb and headed through security without a hitch. We got on the plane, plopped a bottle in your mouth and smiled at each other with pride as you nodded off to sleep while our plane taxied toward the runway.

Then it happened...

Moments from take-off the pilot came over the loudspeaker to tell us that there was some warning light indicating that the luggage door was open. I didn't really care if other people's luggage was dropped across Central Texas during the flight, but since my luggage was there, too, I was a little more concerned. However, the knowledge that there was a glitch with the luggage door brought up additional concerns (like what if the luggage door light is just a small part of a bigger problem and the plane blows up somewhere over Waco spaceshuttle Columbia style while I'm taking my daughter on her first plane trip to Kansas City to see her grandparents and get baptized? Will my daughter then spend eternity in hell because I insisted on having my pastor back home baptize her?).

Anyhoo, you woke up just after we taxied to the runway for the second time. You were fabulous on the flight. You could have made it such a difficult ride, but you just sat in my lap and cooed.

We spent two weeks leading up to the trip crossing our fingers that your stinky diapers coincided with our layover in Dallas and, if they didn't, what we were going to do if we had to change a stinky diaper on the plane. Luckily your bowels were timed correctly between our delighful Chili's lunch and our connecting flight.
