Visiting the Fam

Amelia embarked on her first plane flight. Destination: Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

She was a dream on the plane, which is a long flight, 5 hours total. She fussed a tiny bit but mostly slept and entertained the other passengers with big smiles.

We got to see Julaine, Jason, and their baby Addison. We had breakfast and chatted all morning.

And Amelia met her uncle Samm:
She played and snuggled with Grandma Rose:
It was so much fun to have all of Juan's family together and just hang out and enjoy each other's company. Amelia is still missing all the attention she got while we were there. It sure was a good visit.

Amelia, Rose, Juan

Samm, Juan, Amelia, Rose, David

And let's not forget, Amelia also was overjoyed to meet her uncle David:

I love this picture. Antonio, Rose's boyfriend, got Amelia this giant Simba and she just loves it. I love the stare down featured in this photo. Thanks Antonio!

Here we are all together.

And then our little family.

Wisconsin is just so beautiful. I can't wait until we visit again!

So did Juans family just die over Amelia!? I bet they just wanted to keep her. She looks like she is just the sweetest little girl ever. Glad you were able to visit his fam! Looked like fun!

Julaine said...

She looks so big in the plan seat and kind of confused like what's going on? The pictures look like you enjoyed the rest of your stay. I think it's funny how the pic of us both the girls are looking slightly to the side where one of the guys was holding the keys so they would even look somewhat straight!

Yeah for a good flying baby! I hope Amelia stays that way. On our last flight, Andrew was a crazy kid. He was wiggling all over the place and just wanted to explore. That's so great you guys were all able to get together!

I love those big cheeks in the first picture! She is just so cute with that perfect smile!

Ginger said...

her face is so cute in the picture of Juan, Rose and Amelia. I am so glad she did so well. Good to know she is a professional traveler.

She kind of looks a little scared of Simba in that pic.

I'm glad you had fun with family. Thanks for the congratulations! We are really excited! Sorry I didn't get to see you when I was in Utah - I was only in town for three days and we were really busy getting ready for the wedding. I did get to go see my parents in Loveland, CO and we spend a day in Boulder. It was lots of fun!

You know how some people say "oh what a cute little kid you have" just because they feel like they have to say that or they don't know what else to say? Well I really mean that Amelia keeps getting cuter and cuter everytime you do a post! It looks like you guys had a blast and I'm glad she did so well on the airplane. That's one of my fears-having my child scream the entire time. I also love the Simba picture!
