Birthday Surprise

We flew to Colorado last weekend to surprise our Dad for his birthday. Surprisingly, we were able to pull it off! We got there without him figuring it out - even with my mother-in-law sneaking all kinds of baby stuff into the house for Amberlin.

Amberlin did great on the flight. This was her first time on an airplane and we were thankful that no one sat in our row on the way there. We were able to spread out a little more and let the baby lay on the seat for part of the flight. She slept though both take-off and landing and was in a great mood in-between. She really did well!


Unfortunately, I got really sick while we were there. It kind of spoiled the trip for me, but thankfully Dad and Mom were able to help take care of the baby (it didn't take much convincing!) while I slept and tried to recover.

Amberlin got a lot of quality time with her Grammy and Papa. Although I missed much of the weekend, we had a great visit! It was so nice to be able to be with Dad for his birthday. That is the first time we have been able to be there for one, but hopefully there will be more to come.
