this is me.

:: Adventures in Arizona ::

We took a little jaunt down to Arizona from the 3rd til the 11th. My in-laws recently bought a vacation home there, unable to resist the amazing prices. It was a much needed break for Jody as he's been working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week for the last month. We filled our days with suntanning, swimming and lots of delicious food, most of which I didn't have to cook (holla)! It was definitely a treat having hands to hold Judah. I've never seen people so willing to change dirty diapers!

We were on the road very, very early! My father-in-law likes to make sure we aren't a moment late for the 2-hour preboarding check-in. Starbucks run anyone?!

Anxiously awaiting take-off. We were stuck on the runway for an extra hour while they did a "quick repair to the wing". Repairing a airplane while I'm on it makes me slightly anxious. I don't want to die.

Judah was a little rockstar & didn't cry at all the whole flight. I was prepared with Rapid Relief, Camilia, a variety of toys & books. And, in case of desperation, baby Tylenol. I don't endorse drugging your children to make travel easier, but, for fear of being "those parents", we brought the Tylenol.

Cuddles from Dodo & Nana.

Judah's mock bassinet.

He only slept there for about 20 minutes until I felt too bad and moved him into our king bed.

Taking part in a classic American tradition on July 4th. We collectively decided the best thing about baseball is the beer. Except for Jody, who's too much of a beer snob to drink American beer.

I don't want to know...

Me & my little dude.

There were lots of mini road trips to admire houses & shop, a surprise visit to Sedona, and the best pizza we've ever eaten. Wayne & Ellen, thank you for sharing our first vacation as a little family! We had a great time laughing, talking, and sharing our lives with you! Thank you for playing tour guide and indulging us with organic luxuries and not making me eat scary meat!
