Texas

Too early this morning we woke up to drive to the airport. Buddy flew to Louisville via Chicago to report to his new job and to close on the house. Later this week he will join the kids and I in Texas. Our airplane was small with only two seats per side. Since Nyla is two that meant one person would have to sit by themselves. Luckily the plane was empty enough that we had an entire aisle. The kids probably would have preferred if I was the one to sit by myself but instead it was Bohdin. That gave each child a window seat. Bohdin took advantage of his by either barely being buckled or being completely unbuckled. It is unfortunate that he is too short to see properly out of the window without sitting on his legs.

I put some Backyardigans songs on Buddy's mp3 player and Bohdin spent a good amount of time just listening to music. He looked so grown up sitting by himself with earphones on. It felt like a long flight even though it wasn't. Nyla eventually settled down to sleep and didn't wake up until it was time to deboard. Everybody thought it was really cute or funny to see her catching a ride on the suitcase. She had to trade off with Bohdin at times because he likes to do it also. That's how she learned to do it in the first place.

Now we are here at Nana and Papa's house with Connor. So far Bohdin is having a fun time with him. We saw Brody, Angie, and Donovon earlier today and will see them again later this week. It's good for Bohdin to spend time with an older male but Nyla gets left out. Hopefully she'll find a way to hang out with them together.
