In a very uncharacteristic move, the family is heading in different directions this weekend. Sean and Matty are on to Orlando for a boy’s weekend, while Amy, Stevie and I are heading north to visit baby Ellen for her second birthday.
While of course looking forward to spending oodles of hours with Wendy, Craig, and Ellen for our 2 day reunion, I am more than a little angst-ridden at the thought of flying with 2 minors in my soul charge.
I hate to fly.
But I have packed all the candy in the medicine cabinet in order to ensure our safe and sane arrival in Cleveland.
Wish us luck, and no random drug tests.

Hmmmm. You're headed to Cleveland, and I'm driving to Fresno for The Big Fresno Fair (really, that's what it's called). Because it has been my dream in life to watch livestock give birth in 103º weather.
Snacks are the perfect remedy for screaming babies! On many flights you can also purchase a movie, perfect for Stevie! I hope Sean and Matty avoid Universal, if you remember, that's where Matty likes to show us his breakfast right around lunch time!
