Earning Their Wings

As many of you know, we just took our first ever plane trip with the girls. Although we certainly do not wear rose colored glasses when it comes to our girls' behavior, Lee and I couldn't be prouder of how well they did during this trip. They handled all four flights like seasoned pros and even with the time change, late nights and little napping, really handled themselves well. On our last flight this afternoon, the pilots gave them "wings," which they proudly wore to bed tonight. Stay tuned for pictures from our trip later this week.

Adorable!
Welcome home, the neighborhood was quiet without you!
(Incidentally, did you notice it became Fall while you were gone?)

I remember getting my wings when I was a kid flying with my parents. Did not realize they still do it, that is soo good! Looks like you did not have any issues. Hope you had a good vacation.
