This was not how Lucy traveled. This sweet moment constituted a total of 30 minutes of our 3.5 hour flight from Seattle to St. Paul last week.
This was actually how Lucy traveled: constant motion.
But the flight was worth it, because we had a wonderful time visiting family in St. Paul. I go to St. Paul every November for Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation board meetings. This year Joel decided to take off work and accompany me. I didn't want to leave Lucy for three days, and he wanted to see everyone.We stayed with our "cousins" Trey and Megan. Trey and Joel grew up going to family reunions together, and now their kids will do the same. Teddy is 4 and Taylor is only three months older than the goose.
I say "cousins" because this family is so large now that beyond first cousins, no one really knows how they're actually related anymore. We're all cousins of some kind. We think Lucy and Taylor might be something like seventh cousins four times removed.
Trey and Megan are fabulous hosts and we had a wonderful time. Except for the flight home.

She is cute as a button!!
I can't even think about attempting to fly home next summer. I sure as hell won't be attempting it solo like last year ;)
Miss you... we'll catch up one of these days. Until then I'm sending lots of hugs and kisses through the computer.
xxoo,
