ADK 2010

This past weekend we went to NY to the Adirondacks to visit Dave's family. After narrowly making the plane, it had to turn around due to engine trouble. This is the scene outside our window as we landed...never had this happen before. Our flight ended up getting canceled and we had to get our luggage and go back through all the lines again to get a new plane...which didn't leave until 4pm and it was about 10am at that point. We decided it would be more trouble to deal with going back home (shuttle, parking, packing back up and doing it all over again) so we just stayed at the airport. It was grueling! We didn't make it to our cabin until 2am after leaving home at 6:45am. Then Connor was so wired and confused that he couldn't fall asleep until 5:30am...and you guessed it, Evan was up at 6:30am! It was not pretty!

Evan really, really, really wanted to walk INTO the lake. Not sure what he thought but he was bound and determined to do it so we didn't let him outside much. As you can see it was chilly there.

We had this random Native American statue in our condo that Dave and Scott just had to have their picture with. Scott spent most of the weekend trying to figure out how to get the statue home. Along with this statue we had some very interesting art work and at least 2 mice. It was a nice condo though.

We stayed with Dave's nephew, Scott, and his wife, Erica, and their boys, Braeden (5) and Landon (2). The boys got along great and had so much fun together. Braeden said the best part about the Adirondacks was Connor! So sweet!

We managed to get everyone together for 5 minutes to take a picture. This is just Dave's immediate family...Mom and Dad in the middle, 7 of their children with their spouses and children (17 +1 grandchildren (some with spouses) & 2 great grandchildren) = 34 people altogether! Crazy big family!

We didn't really get to talk with too many people while we were there though because we spent a lot of time wrangling our two. Evan was not happy about the change of venue and refused to be more than 3 inches away from me the entire time (I went to the bathroom with him on my lap most of the time...it was BAD!) Connor spent a lot of time saying he wanted to go home even though he did a really good job of dealing with all the people. This was our 3rd trip in 3 months and I guess it was one too many for them. I just can't imagine trying to do this with 3 next year! We aren't traveling until the trip up next year so I have time to prepare myself.

I had my first appt with my new OB yesterday. She was very nice and the wait time was minimal. She asked if we were planning on having any more and I asked her if she could tie my tubes before taking the baby out! She said she hadn't tried that one, but she'd get it taken care of one way or another. We have another ultrasound scheduled for Nov. 9 and everything is looking as it should. I still haven't had too bad of morning sickness....a bad day with this pregnancy would have been considered a mild day with the last two...so I really can't complain.
