First Plane Ride Back East

For Easter, Annabelle and I flew back to Stroudsburg. James couldn't make the trip because of work, so it was just the girls. I was so nervous about the plane ride, I just didn't want to be that parent with the screaming child who won't stop. Fortunately, Annabelle loved the plane ride. She was very content sitting on her Mommy's lap the whole time with once and a while taking a stroll down the aisle. Changing a diaper in the small airplane bathroom was a adventure, but we made it work. While in Stroudsburg Annabelle met so many friends and family. She met my close high school friends, Grandmom's close friends, and the whole Helms and most of the Wenck family during an Easter gathering. (she was decked out in her bunny shirt and bunny socks). And of course she met all the pets, Rude, Knuters, and her cousin Big Ced! It was so wonderful to show off my daughter to all the important people in my life. And of course, Grandmom and Pappy Wenck loved having Annabelle in their house. My Mom borrowed a bunch of baby necessities, so the house was all ready. The whole time I was home I probably held Annabelle a total of only a couple of hours, Grandmom was doing most of the holding (imagine that!), and Pappy even cuddled with Annabelle once he realized she was going to brake in his arms (seriously). It was a great trip to PA and once again sad to say goodbye.
