Back to KS

So we flew back to KC on Monday. Maddox's first flight. She was very good and slept for most of both of those flights. On the second flight there was a young couple across the aisle who had an 8 1/2 month old boy, Fletcher. He was pretty cute and really wanted to play with Maddox. But M wanted to sleep. The couple was a little jealous of our sleeping girl and said they wanted to trade us so they could play cards and read a book (what we were doing since she was sleeping). Fletcher was fussy and wouldn't hold still.

While we were home Maddox got to meet ALL of her Dad's side of the family. Uncle James:

Maddox playing with cousin Hayden (and Gabby and Avery but Jeremy didn't get them in any pictures):

Grandpa Randy . . .the first thing he did with her was show her the pictures of the tractors on the calendar behind him:

Grandpa was pretty good at making her laugh. She thought he was pretty interesting.

Daddy and M all dressed up for the visitation:

Grandma lookin' pretty . . . is she trying to scare my baby? Family photo time at Grandma Winkel's house after the funeral:

She sat outside after eating for an hour just playing in this high chair with various relatives stopping by to visit her.

Playing with 2nd or 3rd (something distant, Jeremy's cousin's kid) cousin Kaelynn (I'm sure I spelled her name wrong, sorry!):

That was all Tuesday and Wednesday. Thurday we got up at 4am to fly back home. As usual, Maddox slept on both flights. She was worn out though. Today she slept until 9am and has napped 2 long naps. She has a lot to catch up on. The day of the funeral she was quiet for about 45 minutes of the funeral in my lap on the front row and then we had to step out for about 5 minutes and we went back in to walk out with Jeremy. She fell asleep in the car on the way to the cemetary so she got a 30 min. nap in and then didn't nap the rest of the day. Strangely she was very happy and pleasant the whole day while being passed from relative to relative. Hence, why she has some catching up to do today on sleep.

Okay, I'm all caught up now on our busy past couple of weeks! Hopefully life will be a little more normal for a few weeks before we head home again in October!
