Extraction successful...

We had a successful trip down and extracted Denise's Uncle Gary from the newly renamed Bob Hope Airport (Burbank Airport). He flew in for a couple of weeks and is going to spend time with us and Denise's sister Michelle. He will spend the first week with us and then leave with Michelle and crew on Friday. We made really great time going down there and even stopped off at Fry's to kill a few minutes while Denise fed Deanna. I know it will be amazing - but we also had success in extracting me from Fry's WITHOUT buying anything.

It worked out really well at the airport too because right after we arrived at the terminal Gary walked out so everything went off pretty well. I didn't bring a camera with me and we didn't try to use Denise's to take pictures either. I have heard so many bad things about trying to capture images at airports that I figured it was not even worth the hassle.

Devin has REALLY been a big help with his sister Deanna. He has taken it as his mission to try and keep her calm so that mommy and daddy can get other things done around the house. I know right here in this photograph Deanna is upset - but he had her calm for a long while before this - and she calmed down again shortly after the photograph. This was also right before we left for our trip to the airport so there wasn't enough time to get a shot with Deanna calm. I am really proud of him and the way he is really wanting to take care of Deanna. Now - if he would just treat Desirae a LITTLE better - that would be wonderful!
