Updates...

Here is Wrightsville Beach, NC. Cousin Brooke LOVED the ocean and waves. Madison, on the other hand, loved eating the sand. Apparently NC sand is deliciously unlike any Pacific Ocean sand we might have. As my dreaded overnight flight commenced, Pinkie's meltdown did too. We kept her up way past her bedtime of 8pm. Our flight departed at 11:45pm. For an hour she used her loudest, highest, most animalistic moan/shriek she had in her little 20lb body. Of couse we got the eye roll as people walked by, we got the looks of sympathy from other parents that had had the nightmare fairy takeover their child and the piece de resistance... the flight attendant asking if there is anything she can do- as if we wouldn't have already done it if we knew the solution.
Finally, Pinkie passed out sweaty and flushed with emotion, finally. I think that our first overnight flight was worse than my nightmares... And as bleary eyed people filed off the plane of horror, they again shot looks of death and hatred our way. By that time, however, we couldn't have cared less. My resourceful husband called hotels and found us a 1/2 day rate of $55.00!! Who knew there was such a thing??? We got to shower, nap, jump on the beds and watch HBO to cheer us up after the flight of doom and embarassment!

***
The day was gloomy and gray
for sun was all we pray
***
our baby turned one
we had emotional fun
***
thanks to all who came
it wouldn't have been the same
***
she ate her own piece of cake
at midnight crying she did wake
***
her tummy was so a problem
but mommy can solve all them

*** we've been reading a lot of Dr. Seuss, hence the rhyming***
