Lots of travel

So several things have happened in the last few weeks. Nixon rode on a plane for the first time when we went to Midland, TX. We went on a Thursday night so I could work on Friday out there, and we came back Sunday. Actually, we came home Monday morning because we missed our flight due to accidentally leaving Nixon's milk in the fridge at Nathan's parents' house. That's a whole other story. Anyway, he was really good on both flights.

The following weekend I took Nixon out to Sedalia, Missouri to visit my grandmother. Sedalia is a town of about 20,000 people, but it's the location of the Missouri State Fair, which happened to open that weekend we were there. My brother Scottie and his wife Kelli met us in Kansas City, and the 4 of us spent 3 days with Grandma. We had a great time. Nixon was pretty good but definitely had his fussy moments when he didn't want to take naps. Scottie and Kelli were good sports as his crying times were usually at 9am in the morning when they were still asleep, until he woke them up.

Wow, Nicxon sure is growing up. He is soooo cute. My favoirite picture is where Nathan is playing his guitar and Nixon has a big smile on his face. Tristian, I am so happy for you to have the family you've always wanted. Now you get to experience the feelings and love that a mother has for her children. A love that endures forever no matter waht. Love you guys.
