It does get a bit more challenging, although Gus still nurses and sleeps through a good chunk of the flights now! <br /><br />Congratulations to Lucia on her baptism!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641509566095727946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-69502118674074131762012-01-16T11:30:44.859-05:002012-01-16T11:30:44.859-05:00I have been trying to organize all the pictures we...I have been trying to organize all the pictures we have of Lucia by date (not just the ones we took but the ones my mom and dad took) so it makes it easier to do a photobook. I'll probably have to do one just of her first month, and then one every 2-3 months after that (we have SO many pictures!).<br /><br />I have been trying to take pictures of her elsewhere so not all her pictures are in the Rock 'n' Play. <br /><br />I would have brought the cloth diapers if we were only staying at one place, but we stayed at both my parents and in-laws while we were there. And good thing, because since my brother still lives at home, there was constantly a load of laundry going and we barely had a chance to get our laundry in, much less an extra cloth load every day! (Plus, there is something wrong with my parents dryer, my mom didn't realize it until she stayed with us and used our dryer but it too 3x longer to dry anything in their dryer!).<br /><br />I was just thinking I hadn't heard from you in a while and it's time to write you a new email!Mandi Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641577291206420549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-67200327945355656562012-01-16T10:08:17.869-05:002012-01-16T10:08:17.869-05:00Lovely post!

We have so many pictures of G in her rock n play...the dots caught my eye :-)<br />I didn't travel with cloth (despite wanting to) until she was 6 months old, so you aren't alone in that.<br />Again, congratulations on the baptism; I'm so glad it was wonderful!<br /><br />Hope things are well, we need to catch up!kaylene @ Letters from Mommahttp://www.lettersfrommomma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-86186828785566300562012-01-14T16:54:11.588-05:002012-01-14T16:54:11.588-05:00My brother-in-law and his fiancee met on there as ...My brother-in-law and his fiancee met on there as well and I knew another person from church who met her husband there.

He was talking about how generous he was donating a lot of money to the parish. They (I'm not sure who "they" is, but I think it was 60 Minutes?) also interviewed Wahlberg and he said he tries to make it to daily Mass even when he is filming a movie.Mandi Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641577291206420549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-50628722731957548852012-01-14T16:49:48.226-05:002012-01-14T16:49:48.226-05:00We were married there as well (and it's the pa...We were married there as well (and it's the parish my grandparents attend).

I've been storing them carefully wrapped and I can't wait to put them on our new baby. It's so special to have something that's been in your family for years to put on your own child.<br /><br />We take trips a few times a year to my in-law's. When I read your list, I laughed because those are all the things I miss when I'm gone. My own shower goes on the list, too. I don't like using other folks' showers. And somehow, no matter how you try, you just can't relax anywhere else like you can on your own furniture in your own living room.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-42842700980125603842012-01-13T15:01:18.618-05:002012-01-13T15:01:18.618-05:00Oh my goodness, that onesie is so funny and cute!...Oh my goodness, that onesie is so funny and cute!!!!
