later that night we had dinner with some good friends & yeah... i failed to take pictures. oops.
oh, & how cute are sam & parker saying their goodbyes? super cute.
wednesday night we hung out at my sister's & parker played with his cousins. he had so. much. fun.
after some delicious spaghetti dinner at my other sister's house, i went back to my parents' & i skyped with sam on the iphone. i have yet to find a flattering angle to hold the phone at when skyping. do you love how large it makes my nose look? i do.
after some tasty lunch at costa vida, we drove around looking for mountainous photo-ops. i got a few good shots but now realize i know nothing about landscape photography.
we flew home today. with a little convincing on my part, the airline attendants allowed my mom to escort p-ray & i all the way to our airline gate. hal-lei-freaking-lu-lah. such a HUGE help to have another set of arms when going through airport security. surriously.
once on the plane parker flew like a champ. he passed out in his carseat {thank goodness for amazing flight attendants who give you an entire row to yourself!} for the first half, then played happily with toys for the second half. thank you thank you thank you for that, parker.
also? thanks to all of you who sent me words of encouragement & advice on traveling alone with the bebe. my stress level was seriously decreased by all your kind words & thoughts.
so we are home now! it really does feel good to be home, back in our routine, & back with sam. but i really do miss my family. so so so much. sad face.
did you take your "week in camera phone" pictures?
there's only one rule to linking up... your pictures have to be taken by your camera phone. that's it! you don't even have to have a picture for every day. got one camera phone pic of something fun from this week? link up!
grab the code below & put it in your post to have the linky with all the thumbnails show up on your blog too. the more kids who come out to play, the more fun it will be, right?

I like this little weekly round-up game.. I'm a huge camera-phone person. But mine will be BlackBerry ;)

oh my gosh flying with a baby is totally stressful, i can't imagine doing it by myself! sounds like you have a good little traveler though :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, I really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the flight went smoothly and I totally understand about being back in your own routine. There is such comfort in it.
ReplyDeleteYay for traveling with baby! I am totally envious of your ability to do it alone! We traveled a lot when JD was younger, but we haven't flown since last May. We have a couple trips planned for this spring, and I'm afraid JD is not going to be as easy to travel with. And now with Baby O, it will be 2-on-2.
ReplyDeletePS- ADORABLE baby you have there :)
It looks like you had an amazing week. Parker looks chill as always.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Parker was good for you on the plane. You are a brave woman for doing that on your own!
ReplyDeleteI linked up my camera phone post, but the picture wasn't from this week. I hope that's okay.
I love that purse! I've seen in three other times online in the past month and now I think I need one.
ReplyDeleteYou are SUPER brave for flying with a baby by yourself. I'm glad he was such a dream to travel with!
So happy he was easy to travel with. I have avoided visiting my sister because I am afraid to fly cross country with Spencer.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture out of the front windshield. There is something so charming about from the car pictures. I love them.
wow you had such a busy week! You are lucky Parker was sucha a good boy on the plane that is awesome and I am so glad we got to play with you guys!! We miss you ever so muches!!!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that the flight went well! I have been so nervous about flying with my little guy he's almost 2 now though. Guess not so little.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, you guys always have such fun week days! I'm working on my post for this and will be sure to link up.
Looks and sounds like a great week.
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the flying with a baby thing... it was so nervewracking when g and I went to cali... doing it by yourself is sort of empowering though, don't you think? and btw, your nose does not look big on the skype thing!!
