A weekend of firsts

This is the boy eating McDonald's in the DFW airport before we boarded the plane. Myself and the kids (along with my parents) took a trip to the Ham (or Birmingham) this past weekend to watch my cousin graduate high school. It was a weekend of firsts - first time to travel with two kids, first time to travel without Clay, first time to fly with the kids. I could not have asked the kids to be any better when it counted. They did great on both flights, handled the two-hour delay coming home with flying colors, and even cheered appropriately as my cousin walked across the stage. Upon hitting turbulence, the boy simply cried "whee!", and when they called my cousin's name at graduation he yelled "all done!" And you can see by the pictures where the girl spent most of her weekend. This is her with the graduate, the graduate's brother, and the graduate's mother.












What is it about little boys and girls? My cousin's boy couldn't keep his hands off my girl this weekend. He was so interested in her asking if she was okay when she was crying and wanting to know where she was at all times. I might be a little worried if we weren't related!!! Fortunately for him, he's getting a sibling in November.










More proof there is something about little boys and girls...this is my nephew who just can't seem to get enough of our girl either. He calls her "my izbit." He wants to hold her, push her in the swing, and give her the pacifier. It's too cute...but does require our constant supervision because he loves her so much!
