kadens first vacation!

Were back and recovering from our amazing journey to the east coast! what an incredible lovefest it was! We had such a wonderful time, and wish we could have stayed for a while longer! Kaden was so happy to meet his Aunt Kerry and Uncle Tobe, and all his amazing cousins and "TTs". He had so much fun staying at Poppys and Jennifers house, and he had a blast bunkin with the boys at Uncle Tobes! Everyone got together and threw him a Welcome Kaden party, and he got a chance to meet so many amazing souls! It was so wonderful....awesome food, so much love, and the rain even managed to stay away for the day! Kaden got a little overstimulated seeing so many beautiful faces smiling at him, but being the hyper emotional little man, just like his mommy, I know it was his way of marinating in the lovefest and loving every minute of it!




these were taken in the airport during our layover at O'Hare...he was such a good boy and braved the flight like the rockstar that he is! Several people told us that he was amazing on the flight...I'm sure those were the same people that saw us sit down when we got on the plane and groaned at the possibilities of sitting next to an infant on such a long flight!

Seriously, how does Kaden always have such a perfect and big smile on his little face!? He is one happy camper! Looks like you had a fabulous time and I'm so sorry I wasn't there to see you guys!
