Our Trip to the USA 2015

We love America.  We love our family and friends there.  And, yet, we aren't able to go very often, so when we do, we try to balance packing lots of activities in with also not creating more difficulties when traveling with two under 3. 

This time when we went, Isaac and I got to sit in Economy Plus in the bulk head seating with use of a bassinet (if you ever travel internationally with an infant, REQUEST THE BASSINET).  I have requested ever time, but this is the first time I got it.  It was amazing.  However, Isaac didn't love it, slept for 3 hours in it and then the rest of the time wanted to be on my lap.  It's tough traveling with kids, let's be honest.  But, we did it and it was worth it!

First up, Isaac's baptism.  Matt and Katie were Isaac's godparents, and we really enjoyed the day with lots of family and friends (thank you to all those who came!!), food, and swimming.  Isaac was a little tired through the whole ceremony (we woke him up from his nap), so no smiles :(, but got to love that white suit!

On that day we also took some great family photos.

 I love this one with all the cousins! (sans Isaac who was too busy sleeping...)

The next day happened to be my birthday, so we celebrated by going to a pumpkin patch in Marble Falls that had every fall-related kid activity you would ever imagine.  Sadie LOVED feeding the goats and jumping on a large blog.  Isaac was super into the little pumpkins.

Our trip to Austin was rounded out by a trip to Salt Lick.  I've never seen Isaac eat so much...

Next on our agenda was Houston for a very very spectacular wedding.  We were so lucky to be a part of it as Sadie was the flower girl.  She isn't even 3 yet, and she has already walked down the aisle (with a very handsome Noah!).  I love that everyone in my family is such a good dancer.  So much fun.  So much love.

And, finally, the kids were able to spend some quality time with Great-Grandpa.  Here is my favorite picture of the trip.  I can't believe how much they look alike!

To all our family and friends that made our trip so wonderful, thank you for making time for us!

To all those we missed during our visit, we will make up for lost time soon!
