Dear Amelia -

Well, your 2nd flight was another success. Cookie dropped us off at the airport on Friday morning about 2 hours early. We went thru security with only 1 problem, they said I didn't tell anyone about the bottled water in my bag, which I told 2 people. They tested it and didn't tell me that it was okay, just walked away and left me standing there. Oh well. We went and got some breakfast and then were on our way. We got on the plane and were seated next to a very nice woman named Sue. She helped me put my stuff away and held you for a bit, even got you to fall asleep. We arrived in Milwaukee a few minutes early. Lydia came and picked us up. 

We got to Mr Stephens & Lydia's house. I put our stuff in Rickys old room that Lydia had changed into a girly room for YOU! She borrowed a pack n play, had pink rugs, flowers and even a rocking chair because she knows you love to rock. She also borrowed a bouncy seat and a walker. Wasn't that thoughtful of her? It all came in handy! After we got all situated, we sat outside. It was so nice out. We took a walk to Lydia's Mom's house. Chatted with them for a bit and then walked back. We hung out inside for a bit where you rolled over, both directions back to front. As you might remember, you were only going front to back before. 

Lydia's sister, nephew and neice all stopped by to say hi too. We had a yummy dinner, then it was time for you to go to bed. Ricky came over to say hello right as I was putting you to sleep. You slept really well Friday night. Woke up around 4, wanted your paci and then 530 for a bottle. 

Saturday, it was a yucky rainy day. Perfect for shopping. We took Mr Stephens credit card and went to ShopKo, my first experience there. We went back to the house for a nap. You and I snuggled in bed together. When we got up, you wanted to play with the diet coke can and stuck your finger in the can and cut it. You were crying, blood was all over your outfit and mine. Poor baby. It finally stopped bleeding but you were just a bubble off the rest of the night. Not interested in your oatmeal and just wanted your bottle. You slept ok Saturday night, lots of little sounds. After you went to bed, we played some games. I rule at games. 

Sunday, another rainy day. We sat around most of the morning until we met Kathy, Perry and some of their friends at Champps. You were perfect as usual. Then back to the house to get ready to go. We played one last game and then it was off to the airport. We got thru the airport just fine. We waited to get on the plane and then once we go on the plane, we waited to get up in the air. We ended up being on the airplane for over an hour before we departed. You slept right until the plane was up in the air. You cried for only a bit. You did great once again. 

We were so happy to see Daddy when he picked us up from the airport. He was happy to see his girls too! Good thing you guys have all day to catch up!

Thanks for the fun weekend Mr Stephens & Lydia! Below are some more pictures from the weekend!
