Daddy Daughter Seattle Trip

Nathan was really brave and took Corinne up to Seattle for a weekend without me. It was his first time traveling on an airplane alone with her. I've done it. Even with her being really good it is kind of stressful. I am proud of him for doing it. And grateful because although I really wanted to go too, I had way too much to do to get ready for my NIOSH audit. Him taking her with him allowed me to get a lot of work done while they were gone.

Her diaper leaked on the plane and he had to change her pajama's in the airport. The first night they were gone he stayed in a Hotel with Dana and BJ in Olympia. Apparently there was a hotel fire before they got there. Kind of scary. Here she is looking cute in the hotel room the next morning.

My sister, Becky, also went into labor the night Nathan and Corinne flew up so they were able to see Becky with her new baby, Lucy in the hospital. Apparently, I look enough like Becky that Corinne really snuggled up to her. Becky's daughter Olivia would do that with me when she was Corinne's age too. I was extra sad I missed the trip when Lucy came just in time for it. Becky was scheduled to be induced the day after Nathan and Corinne came back home, so had Lucy not come on her own they would have just missed her.

Becky is such a good sport sharing her pudding with Corinne. Very sweet.

Such a cutie playing at the mall with daddy and cousins. She had a fun time. Naps were a bit difficult during the whole trip though. Without her crib, Nathan said he tried laying her down on her cousin Desmond's kiddy bed, but she would just get off and bang on the wall until he came back to get her.

Nathan says the only morning on the trip that she slept in was the morning they needed to get up early to come back home. I am glad to have them back. I knew I would miss them and I did for sure, but I was surprised how emotional I got watching them leave me behind at the security gate. I actually broke down crying in front of the guards. It is good to have them back.
