Oh - here's a quick pic from Adilyn's first Halloween as a cowgirl! It was difficult to find a 'store' costume in her size that wasn't enclosed (and since she's actively crawling, I knew that wouldn't fly).
However, the Saturday before we left - Dan made me go to urgent care because I had been coughing for a couple of weeks and he as worried about me flying. Turns out, I had bronchitis and the start of an ear infection - so I was armed with medication and we got all packed up. Thankfully, we were able to get the whole family packed into one large suitcase and one small one (plus two full carry on bags). I was pretty impressed by that considering we were traveling with our 10 month old (for the first time ever).
Our flight to FL took off on Monday around 10am - overall, the travel itself was quite uneventful. Adi was a champ - through the airports + on the airplane. On the flight to Orlando, she ate and then slept for about 2 hours of the ~3 hour flight - I was SO thankful for that! She was a bit more active on the flight home - but mostly just 'chatting'/waving/smiling and occassionally shrieking at the people around us. The only challenge we had on the way home was that Dan and I were not sitting next to each other - but we survived!
Our time in FL was just what the Dr. ordered (at least for me). This was our first vacation in about a year - and even though it was different (since we had Adi with) - it was great to get away. I did my best to unplug + not check into work; which was really great to help me just unwind and step back from the stress of daily life. We spent most of our time lounging around together as a family without an agenda - which was the best part. Didn't hurt that we were in 75-85 degree sunny weather!
Now we're back to reality, as they say. :)

So glad you were able to get away for awhile. I just can't get over how absolutely adorable Adi is!!!
