okay so I am going in reverse order posting pictures and eventually posting the pictures. These are a few shots from my trip to visit Tammy, Summer and Waverly. Summer is 3 years old and so determined. I was treated to a very special event, Summer showed me how she does her jumping. Very cute and I also took some video of her jumping. See how cute the girls are, just like little angels and so sweet!

Owen, Summer and Waverly: Cars

Owen and I arrived and he instantly went into shy mode. But once he was on the floor with the girls and playing cars, they were old friends. Tammy sat and played with Owen so I could tape the girls. It was a great visit and I am sorry I had to speed out to catch our plan.
My learnings from this trip (I will post more of the interview later):
1. Always fill up on gas BEFORE you get to the airport ($7/gallon was not pleasant)
2. Don’t try and cram yourself, a car seat, a suitcase and a stroller onto a crowded airport bus. Luckily businessmen were sympathetic and all tried to help.
3. Always fold the car seat all the way down or it will get stuck in the security conveyor belt (and the security personnel will get irritated).
4. Southwest Airlines is the easiest airline to fly when transporting kids and lots of equipment. The gate attendants let us board early and helped break down the stroller, put the car seat in and entertain O.
5. And last but not least, always give extra time to return the car and change some dirty diapers.
Next up I will post Zoe, Michelle and Jerry’s photos. If all goes well this weekend I should have some rough cuts of the interviews up and then in 2 weeks the full transcripts.
