taking off

We are headed to Austin, Texas for our last wedding of the year for Lee's cousin Laura. We are looking forward to getting away for a few days and turning this trip into a mini-vacation. Tripp will take his first plane ride and we hope he (and all the other passengers nearby) will do okay. We didn't have to buy him a ticket since he's under 2, thank goodness he'll have plenty of laps to be passed around! I have been worrying about his ears since he has tubes and how the changes in altitude would effect him. Come to find out he'll manage better than a child would without ear tubes. He shouldn't even feel the normal ear popping that usually occurs thanks to the tubes. Hopefully I'll have a lot of good pictures to share next week!!
