Connor's first Vacation

California Trip


Connor and I flew down to California at the beginning of the month to stay with my sister Laura. Her husband is in law school and never home because he is a good student who studies ALL OF THE TIME so we decided to go keep her company while Michael was on a work trip. We had so much fun. The weather was perfect...As soon as they picked me up from the airport Addison, my 3 year old niece, kept telling me, "See Stephanie the weather here is great. I keep trying to tell you how wonderful our weather is and that you should live here. Wow it's so warm." and she went on and on about it the entire time. We went on walks, got Thrifty's ice cream, met up with my best friend when I was a little girl and had a play date with her 2 kids, ate at the best breakfast place in the world, made yummy dinner, played with the puppy and played with Tyler (Laura's brother in-law)...He would take Connor and hang out with him which was so nice of him! Connor loved him! Kourtney and Addison both adored Connor and couldn't get enough of him and I couldn't get enough of them!!


We had a great surprise our last day there. My sister Carinn drove down from Rosamond with her kids to surprise us and spent the day playing in the park with us and hanging out. Her kids were all so excited to see Connor and he got 4 more cousins adoring him and loving him that day! I love that all of the cousins love each other so much. I have the best sisters! I love being with them and had a perfect day with them and all of the babies. Thanks for driving all of the way to see us...it made our trip complete! We of course missed Emily and her babies.
After 3 days of fun we made our trip home. Connor did great on the plane both ways which was a relief because our flight there was at 7 in the morning and our flight home didn't get in until 1030 at night so i was worried about him not sleeping. Nursing on a small plane was not that great especially with 2 grown men next to me, but Connor was good so I can't complain. Here's a picture of him on his first plane ride (still in pajamas because I had to put him in the car at 6 am and I wasn't going to wake him up to dress him!)
