Well we're back in NY and what was greeting us this morning???? SNOW!!! I know it won't be here long but geesh, it's supposed to be spring!!!! OK enough rambling about snow.

We had a great trip to FL! You know how I was worried about Peanut freaking out and us getting dirty looks on the plane? Well I was worried for nothing, she was absolutely AMAZING! We were so proud of her, no screams or cries at all on the plane, just happy time and sleep time. She slept through turbulence and the landing on both ways!!! I've been calling her my portable baby because she did so great on the trip. Jason and I are so proud of her and how she did. She met most of the extended family on Easter when we went to see them in Deltona. She had so much fun and was mostly smiles the whole time we were there.

Grandma and Grandpa were great, they house was set up similar to home. Grandma went all out and bought baby gear to make her and us feel at home. She had a swing, a tub, slept in a pack n play, had a bouncy seat and also her own outdoor tent for when we were outside. That made a world of difference and I think is the reason why she adjusted so well and was able to stay on schedule. Thanks so much Grandma!!! While we were there we noticed that Lorelei has started teething and sucking her thumb! That kid is growing so fast!

The trip went by really fast and we were able to see everyone we wanted to see for the most part. We didn't get enough time with Josh & Cynthia or JJ but they all made an effort. It was good to see them when we did.

Jason and I didn't do one thing we thought we would do for ourselves. We went through withdrawel on our last day because we left the nut with Grandma. We wanted to do some clothes shopping for ourselves, where did we end up? Baby Gap, we only shopped for Lorelei and we got a gift for her boyfriend Jackson too. We were so pathetic, we missed her so bad and we were wandering around trying to figure out what we wanted to do but couldn't think of anything. We ended up having coffee at JJ's girlfriend's coffee shop where she works. What a day!

We almost didn't make it to the airport on time but we were blessed when we got there. We accidentally went into the wheelchair line of security oops, anyhoo J asked and we were able to skip the massive crowds through security and just barely get to our gate for the preboarding!!! Thank God!

Anyhoo, we're home and adjusting. :)
