Ian's First Big Trip

Well Kara and Ian are back from their trip to Minnesota. Ian was very well behaved on the flight there and back --despite the return flight being delayed 2 hours. Our nanny (who just started) Monica helped get Ian ready for the trip and drove Kara and Ian to and from the airport. While in MN Ian met his uncle Eric and aunt Jane as well as his cousins Alec, Jonah and Kira Rose. Jane and Kara's parents were very helpful getting Ian to go to sleep and comforting him (which helped Kara to sleep enormously). Amy and Nani came by and visited. Amy wrote down the story of Ian's birth in a notebook for us to keep for the future. Kara and Ian visited Kira Rose's school to celebrate her birthday--and Kara and Kira Rose sat at a special private table for lunch. And everywhere Kara and Ian went people reportedly oohed and aahed over his special Quinny Zapp travel stroller (Dutch engineering!). Ian and Kara have another big trip down to New Orleans for Kara's job later this month and grandparents Bert and Judy will be going down as well to help babysit.
