{Away we go...}

On May 2nd the husband dropped Baby Girl and I off at Sea-Tac Airport where we flew to Houston!

We bought this bag with wheels for the car seat - lifesaver! I wheeled her through the airport and it was super helpful. 

Evette was a champ on the flight. No - she did not nap. Of course she wouldn't nap, there were people to watch and entertain! We sat near the back right by the bathroom so there was always a line of people right by us. Evette would laugh and talk with all the people. One little girl even came over and played patty cakes with Baby Girl. We also had all 3 seats to ourselves - that was a huge blessing! I was pretty nervous to fly alone with Evette but I couldn't have asked for better - lovely baby.

While I flew to Houston the husband drove to Provo where he met his Dad, loaded up the moving van with a bunch of friends, and then drove with his Dad down to Dallas.

 Thanks, friends, for all your help!!

[the original plan was for all 3 of us to drive to Provo and then have Evette and I fly to Dallas. When we looked at flights we realized that a flight from Seattle to Houston was half of the price of a flight from SLC to Dallas. So - we went with the cheaper option which also meant less driving for the Babes and I - double bonus. Thanks Dad McQuay for accompanying the husband on that long long long drive]
