Safely on Vacation

Well, we made it safely! It was a LONG trip with A LOT of baby gear, but we're here, all our stuff is here, and so far no one's the worse for wear. Mia actually slept through both flights, including the 3.5 hour one--call me surprised! It was actually pretty funny, because as we boarded both flights, she was her usual, wiggle-wormy, energetic, flirt-with-all-the-people self. But as soon as the plane got airborn she zonked right out. Kind of like how people in the movies just drop off to sleep when they're being hypnotized: "You are getting sleepy. Your eyelids are very heavy. On the count of three you will be asleep. One. Two..." Just like that!

And after spending all morning trying to figure out what was going on with my mother-in-law's wireless internet, we finally got the computer online and I was able to get some work done. Bobby and his mom took Boo out shopping all afternoon--hit some second-hand shops to find a high chair and some toys for her to use while she's here. So I actually had quite the relaxing work day.

And last night, after a fabulous dinner of pork roast, potato pancakes and applesauce (my MIL is a gourmet!), I actually got to scrap a little! It's kind of nice. I can't really do any designing while I'm here, since I don't trust my hubby's laptop to display the right colors, and I don't have my Wacom with me (and I kind of depend on it while I'm designing). So this will allow me to JUST scrap! :)

MIL is having a GREAT time playing with Mia, so that is nice. Maybe this will turn out to be a relaxing trip after all. We could certainly use the rest!
