Marin's First Halloween

Marin was disguised as a not-so-scary kitty for her first Halloween. We went to a neighborhood block party where Marin (and her eyes) were a big hit!

Marin Meets Her Great-Grandmas

While making the rounds in Nebraska, Marin had the opportunity to meet her great grandmas! Some good snuggle time was had by all! Marin is fortunate to have such neat women in her life.

Marin's First Flight

Here we are at the Austin Airport around 5 a.m. awaiting our first flight with a 10 week old baby. You can clearly see that Marin was up for the challenge! She slept all the way to Dallas, ate a snack at DFW, and continued to saw logs all the way to Omaha.

When we landed in Omaha, a business man across the aisle from us put down his Blackberry with a sigh of relief to tell us we had 'the best baby ever!' Everyone else around us chimed in telling us how thankful they were that we didn't have a "screamer"! Ah shucks, we were flattered.

On the return flight to Austin, Marin decided to scream all the way to our seat as we boarded the plane. We could feel people staring and silently praying that we weren't sitting next to them. Jason nearly broke out in hives as he reminded me what a terrible idea this was to travel with a newborn. Fortunately, the screaming subsided and it was smooth sailing once again all the way home. Whew.

Overall, it was a successful trip and we were so happy Marin got to meet her relatives in Nebraska!

Marin is 2 months old

Marin is all smiles for the camera with her bear! We are amazed how quickly Marin is growing and changing. She'll be heading to Nebraska in about 10 days to meet more of her family. We're hoping the roar of the airplane lulls her into a deep sleep and not a frantic crying spell!
