We made our first plane journey to the Midwest this past week to visit with the Stronczek clan. It started off on a bit of a rough note - we made it to Chicago nice and early to find our Ft. Wayne leg had been cancelled and we were rebooked on a flight 9 hours later. Well, with an infant, 9 hours later really doesn't cut it. So thankfully, Beth Nesbitt came and picked us up, took us to the skyway McDonald's where my sister in law met us and drove us to Ft. Wayne. We still made it to Ft. Wayne faster than a flight 9 hours later - in between a blizzard and a clipper. Seriously - midwest weather in the winter is so unpredictable.
And then....the temperatures were unbelievable. Today was the warmest day at a balmy 28 degrees. It was absolutely freezing. We had the fourth coldest day in Ft. Wayne history at -15. Needless to say, we did a lot of staying inside and visiting. Poor Noah had his breath taken away on more than one occasion. So did his Mom and Dad.
All in all, we had a wonderful time in Indiana. Noah met many of the Stronczek extended family - somewhere in the range of 19 family members. He also got to meet many of my high school friends too. The greatest part about it is that he is starting to really connect and smile...and he was getting passed around to everyone - and most people were always given a smile.
So we are back in Portland - and Sara is living up her last days of maternity days by spending as much time with the little guy as possible!!
