Back from Utah

We're back from Utah and almost back to normal. We had a great time and loved seeing all of our family and friends, although 7 days was just not long enough. There were so many people I wish we could have spent more time with, and people that we still didn't get to see. Paisley was an absolute angel, of course. The flight home with her was great as well, not a peep from her. When we landed, the guy in front of us stood up and saw her, and was very surprised to see that he had been in front of a baby for 2.5 hours. Good girl! That's about when our luck ran out though. We waited for our luggage, and waited, and waited...turns out that since the weather was not very good in KC, they opted to take some bags off of the plane, ours being some of them. That meant no baby items, no clothes, no meds, no toothbrushes, etc. So we go to my dad's house and sleep in dirty clothes, and I wake up in the middle of the night with really bad stomach pains, and spend the next 24 hours with food poisoning. To top it off, our bags weren't delivered the next day as promised, so Charles called Delta (yes, I will say it, so everyone can boycott them) and chewed out the sales girl, but that still didn't get us anywhere. Our luggage was being sent UPS, and they still wouldn't give us anything for our troubles. Arghh. All in all, it was a good trip. Lots and lots of pictures, of course.

She liked to paint Charles' fingernails.

Zoe, Emma and Shawn. These 2 were our flower
girls in our wedding.

Her hat and mittens.

Beca happened to be in town from NC at the same
time as us, which was great because I had never
met her younger daughter Kate.

Amelia the doll. Just look at those eyes!

Amelia's mom, Nolene.



Sad girl. We put her hair in pig tails and she
got really upset. I think it hurts while it's getting
done, but she's fine as soon as we stop messing with
her hair. She better grow out of that, because I
want to do fun things with her hair when she
gets older.

Napping on Grandma. She's definitely spoiled
in Utah.

Mmm, chocolate cake.

Jenny and Paisley. I think I've known Jen longer
than I have any other friend.

Aunt Shirleen and cousin William. Shirleen was
the one who got Paisley to giggle and grab at things.
Damn you!

So cute!
