st. louis pics

Here are a couple of pics from our recent trip to St. Louis!

There are six Gaunce Great-Grandchildren; from left: Savannah, Berkley, Genevieve, Dane, Grayson, and Simone.

The other pic is of my sister, Libby, and Dane. This pic cracks me up! Dane still has pizza coming out of his mouth...his expression says, "enough already." This was his first taste of pizza (he loved it, of course).

Wednesday we leave to go Up North for Thanksgiving weekend! I am so excited to be at the little cottage in the woods for a few days...it is so cozy and nice to get away. Without fail, the past two years it has snowed! I love snow and am hoping for it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're back!

Dane and I took a trip to St. Louis for a week to visit my sister and aunt, uncle, cousins and their kids. It was refreshing to get away and see family and have a change of scenery! We had so much fun hanging out with everyone and it was interesting to see Dane get to interact with the kids. He loves grabbing on to children and babies, especially their hair and always wants to give a big kiss! I find that so funny because he does not kiss adults all that much (except for me - of course).

The flight there was great, I requested an extra seat for Dane and we got three! It went really well and we were there in no time. The way home was another story (I knew I could not get so lucky a second time). First the flight was full, then it was delayed, then cancelled! No joke, just plain cancelled (ha, ha, no pun intended). So we had to stay another night. Which would be no big deal if I had been flying alone, but going through security is a pain with a baby, let alone the actual flight. Anyway, we ended up getting home fine and on both flights I got compliments on what a good baby Dane was. That is always good to hear!

I do have a great pic of Dane and all the Gaunce great-grandkids, but I haven't uploaded it yet! So I will just have to put up the late Halloween ones!
