Our family vacation

We just got back from our first vacation as parents.  I couldn't believe how much stuff we had to take!  Last summer we carried on all our luggage.  This year we checked two big suitcases going and four coming home.  PLUS a stroller, carseat, diaper bag, and backpack. Juggling it all was manageable, but getting through security was a long process!  I kept trying to imagine doing this with two kids... I guess we'll cross that bridge when we have to!

Our first adventure was a visit in Chicago with Andy's great aunt Arline.  Donny smiled at her as soon as he saw her!  We were so proud of him!

Next, he met Andy's Aunt Nancy and Donny's Great grandma and grandpa Johnson

They were delighted with their "littlest peanut."  He was dressed in his Chicago Cubs baseball colors in honor of his Great Grandpa Earl who is a lifelong fan. 

Next we went back to O'Hare where we suffered through a 6 hour flight delay. The parents were more upset about this than the baby.

We spent the remainder of our vacation in White Lake and Appleton, Wisconsin with Andy's parents and his sister's family. Grammy bought Donny this cute bathrobe.

He got to meet his cousins Laura, Zachery, and Michael

And of course Lindsey, his cousin who is three months older than him (and about the same size!)

There's lots more but I'm out of time for today!
