No More Wake-Ups!!

Well the final wake up was here and we were on our way. Our flight took off at 6:15 am. We were up at 3:30 am. The girls were so excited they jumped right up. I wasn't surprised. This is a picture of the girls when we were getting ready to leave for the airport at 4:30 am.



As soon as we got to our gate the girls said they were hungry, so Todd went to Cinnabon and got us some Cinnamon rolls. They were huge. I guess he thought we should get this vacation started of right. I couldn't even eat all of mine. This picture didn't do the thing justice. This box is like the size of a BIG MAC, and they cost us $20, and Todd left the leftovers on the next plane(URRR!). He wanted to try to get back on the plane and get them, but I had seen the ladies cleaning up as we were getting off the plane. Oh, well, not the first or last thing we will waste!






Leah didn't know what to expect on the plane. She had never been on a plane before. Well, she had but in my belly!! She was a little nervous and told me that she would like to hang on to me. I thought that was so sweet, I had to take a picture. Emma thought the plane was a little loud for her, so she plugged her ears up.





Pretty soon after the plane took off the girls were fast asleep. Leah totally missed the landing. She didn't even know she had missed anything. I had to carry her off the plane. I tried to wake her up, but it didn't work. Oh well, there were plenty more for her to experience.





After we got to Nashville, we were actually delayed, so I went and found a word search book, and Todd got us some snacks, and we entertained ourselves until it was time for the last leg of the trip. Todd had loaded Hannah Montana on his IPod for Emma to listen to on the plane, and for a special little touch he put a hot pink cover on it. She looked to grown sitting there eating her skittles and listening to her music. Who told her she was old enough to have a preference in music anyway?





Eventually we were in the line to board the plane for Houston. The girls knew that they would see Aunt Katie and Uncle Nick when we got off of the next plane. This is a terrible picture of Leah, but they were really excited.



Once again Leah missed the landing, but that's ok, because she was getting some sleep. We all knew that if we were going to have a good afternoon, Leah needed to get her sleep. We were finally there all of the wake ups were over and we were finally going to get to see Aunt Katie and Uncle Nick. Who do you think was leading the way? No one was going to beat her to it! She wasn't slowing down. She would get her hug first!

More to come soon. It takes awhile to load and update all of this. I have to do it in stages. I do have other things I have to do today!

I loved the play by play & can't wait to hear more. And yes, Emma looked too grown listening to an iPod! But how sweet that Todd put the pink cover on just for her! Only a special Daddy would have even thought of that!
