Back To St. Louis

Bella and I are flying back to St. Louis this afternoon. We had a lovely time in PA visiting my family. Here are some "firsts" Bella did while here:

*First merry-go-round- cried at first, was trying to push me away by the end
*First and second burrito- loved it, she would eat a black olive burrito if I'd let her
*First time in a different state than her mother and father! Mike of course is in St. Louis. I went to New York City on Saturday with my brother just to enjoy the beautiful day.
*First time eating and saying matzah!
*She survived her bout with measles in reaction to her MMR!
*She can say "Zayde" and "Joanna" now, but will not try anyone else's name. Thought we'd have some more progress!

Hmm. That's all I can think of for now. This will be the completion of Bella's 6th flight. I'm not complaining because we are very lucky to have travelled, but I will say I can't wait for this day to be over.


Bella will miss her grandparents!


She will miss eating a cinnamon roll every morning with her Great Gran.


And her aunt and uncles. The boys aren't all that into having their picture taken with her. She loooves Uncle Sam too, but I didn't get any pics with him!
