Week 36 - Up in the air

Week 36 Picture

Jay took the first flight of his short life this past week. It turns out that traveling with an infant is just as tricky as it looks. There are just so many moving parts you have to consider. Checking a car seat. Managing the baby as you head through security. Keeping him happy and entertained for three hours in confined spaces. Nothing is as straight forward as it was flying alone. That being said, it wasn't as bad as I expected. We were fortunate enough to have an empty seat between Kimbre and I on both the flight to Denver as well as the flight back. Jay was all over the place but stayed in a good mood the whole flight.

In the end, the struggle was worth it. It was great seeing friends and family. Something I've come to realize as I get older is that there is little in this world more important than maintaining the relationships with those most important to you. It's important that Jay gets to spend as much time around his Denver family as he can as well. It's important that we got to meet our new niece Jaina. Enduring the struggles of taking a baby on a plane is just the price of admission for that privilege.
