Santa Fe

This past weekend my sister Devon and I took Derek on his first plane ride to visit our family in New Mexico. Our only little fiasco was when we missed the world's fastest preboarding and had to board a tiny airplane with a terrified and screaming Derek with a gazillion people behind us. And wouldn't you know as I was trying to install his carseat in a row with no leg room, my belt loop kept catching on the tray table behind me and pulling it down! I wanted to join Derek in his screaming. :)Luckily, the carseat got installed and a lollipop pacified Derek. He held my hand the entire flight. Other than that small blip, it was such a wonderful trip. All we did was eat, sleep and talk. It was my Nana's first time meeting Derek and it was so cute to hear him say her name. I wish we were still there. Thank you Uncle Lou, Aunt Fran & Nana for such a perfect weekend!
P.S. Derek was not scared at all on the way home..... I think his exact words at takeoff were "Weee" Thank God!
