We're Here!!

I stayed up late and got up early so you all would know we made it safely to our new "home away from home" in Arlington, Virginia!!

Dave left in our car on Saturday, and me, mom, and Lawson flew out Sunday. Lawson did great on the plane, although I know it's mostly just luck because many babies on our plane didn't do so great! Things started out nicely when he fell asleep on the way to the airport. We got there so early he was able to sleep almost an hour before we had to go through the security line. Surprisingly, we got through security relatively painlessly. We were holding up the line, so they did move us to the side at one point so we could get organized!

Anyway, I'll let the pictures tell the story...


Lawson's last breakfast in his nursery for a while.





Pop took Lawson on the roof and watched hunting shows with him while me and mom got ready!

Lawson alseep at the security line.



Our flight!


Lawson tries to get his toes


And he's successful!

Lawson watches everyone board!

He's excited for his first flight!


Lawson gets lunch while trying to also breathe.


The flight is over and Lawson is so excited!


At Baltimore-Washington Airport. Only 58 mins to our apartments!


On the rental car bus (with 8 bags!)


In our rental car! Our spirits are high!


Spirits low...we're lost!! We were "welcomed to DC" 4 times!! Pop had to get us home!


2.5 hours later, we finally make it to the apartments!

Waiting in the lobby. It's been a long day!


First bath in his new home!

More to come later!

Court,

So glad y'all made it safely(an answer to prayer), although a bit frazzled with the drive from the airport to the apartment--bless your heart! I love the pic of Lawson "successfully" finding his toes! Too Cute! Have a great first week in your home away from home!
Love you bunches!
