New England
I almost forgot! Tyler went on his very first plane trip on May 4, 2006. We flew up to Boston for my friend Julie's wedding. Her wedding wasn't until Saturday, so we rented a minivan (we're hooked on getting one now!) and drove to Connecticut to visit Mike's brother and his family. Our sister-in-law is due on May 28th, I think, but she could go any day now!
Anyway, Tyler has spoiled us yet again. He was an angel on the plane, didn't cry or fuss one bit! Mike and I were both a little unsure of how he would handle the pressure changes, but I made sure he was either drinking from a bottle or using a pacifier when we took off and landed. He slept almost the entire flight, to and from Boston!
All my friends finally got to meet him, too. They were so excited, and so was I. Although, it seemed like I now had a completely different life compared to the last time we were all together, it was so wonderful to be with them again. Mike was great, he took charge of Tyler for a majority of the weekend so that I could visit with my friends.
It IS kind of strange being back with my girls. I'm a mom now, and though hanging out and meeting for drinks the night before the wedding would have been a blast, I really preferred to stay with Mike and Tyler. Maybe it's just a phase, since Tyler is so new in our lives. I feel like I need to relish every moment of his babyhood that I can, because EVERYONE tells me that it goes by so fast...and when I look at pictures of him from when we first brought him home, I really believe that time whizzes by. Which brings me around to thinking about my friends again. I get so nostalgic when I think about how long we've all known each other (going on 11 years!) All 6 of us girls have kept in close touch with each other all this time...I just feel so lucky and blessed that I have such great friends in my life. And even though my entire life has changed since I last saw them, it didn't feel that way when we were all together again. I like to imagine the six of us 30 or 40 years from now laughing and talking over drinks, still as close as ever.
