Ready to be a Frequent Flyer

Kate took her first ride on an airplane last weekend...actually it was 4 rides counting our connections each way. We flew into Huntsville, AL on Friday afternoon. Huntsville is just 1 hour from Florence where Nonna and Papa live. Kate could not have been any better on the plane. Each trip she napped a little, ate a little and just hung out a little. All of the passengers who sat around us and the flight attendants on each flight commented on how great she did. She also LOVED being in the airports. She tried to talk to everyone that she saw. We are glad to know what a great traveler she is so that maybe she and Momma can manage some solo trips to Florence this way.

While in Florence we had a great time visiting with Nonna, Papa, Granny and all of Kate's aunts, uncle and cousins. We had 2 birthdays to celebrate--Kate's Aunt Anna and cousin Liza. Both parties were a lot of fun and Kate enjoyed seeing all of her Alabama family.

Daniel and Liza were crazy about Kate at Christmas when we were in Florence and couldn't wait to get their hands on her this time too. Here's Daniel and Kate...

We were excited that the Jung's made it in on Sunday for Liza's birthday party. Here's Kate with Camden.

The weather was awesome on Sunday. Here's Kate enjoying it with Daddy on the porch.

The birthday girl even took some time out of her busy schedule to hold Kate during her party.

Kate loved getting to spend some good time with Nonna...

...and Papa and we can't wait to see them again soon!
