The kids went on the their first plane ride on 11/23 (we went home to Indiana for Turkey day). It was definitely an experience (I think more so for us than for them). First, Claire thought she was Miss America in the airport. She waved to everyone and wanted to run up and down the airport halls yelling"wait" and "hey" and "yay!" She was actually fine on the plane (very quiet and calm and watched "Melmo (elmo)." Jack, on the other hand, was very calm in the airport (he loved his "backpack "-- a monkey that has long tail that we can hold on to so he can't get too far). He was so fasinated with the tail, that he didn't try to run, but on the plane he was a little wiggle-worm. I think Nick and I lost about 5 pounds in sweat just trying to keep him under control.
Here are some more pictures from our trip as well. There is so much that I could share -- they had fun trying to play the piano. Claire danced a lot. Neither one of them wanted to eat much (mainly just rolls and some corn (or as Claire calls it "corns."). Both of them were extremely exhausted after barely sleeping in the hotels. When we got home they both passed out in their crib...
