Graduation

December 11th McKenleigh took her 2nd plane trip. This trip was a little different from the last one. When McKenleigh was 8 weeks old, we flew to Montana and it went perfect. She slept the whole time. It was an easy flight and no one knew a child was on the plane.

This trip was a little different. My parents, McKenleigh and I flew to Florida for my brothers graduation. She was almost a year old and it was 6:30 pm. (Her bed time is 7:30) We left for the airport with plenty of time, but due to a car accident, the traffic was terrible so a 25 min trip turned into an hour trip. We get to the airport, run through to security and make it to the gate. Once we boarded at 6:30, we got delayed because of weather, it was snowing/icing. They had to de-ice the plane and so we sat in the plane for an hour before we took off. I had brought some food and we were blessed to have a row to ourselves, so mom was on the isle and I was by the window. McKenleigh would climb on me and the climb over to grandma, the back to me then back to her. She continued to climb and play the entire flight. She did stop for a few minutes to look at a book with grandma, but that lasted maybe 2 min. She was really good and we were so proud of her, but it was a long 4 hours to keep a baby confined. We made it there safely and we were greeted by our favorite people - Uncle Adam, Adrian and her brother.
