Christmas, this year, was spent in Virginia Beach with Gene’s parents and his sister, Leigh. Flying was more of a challenge now that Kate’s on the move, but she managed to take a nap on each of our four total flights…thank goodness! And when we say "Kate's on the move", boy do we mean it. She may be an *army crawler* but she sure knows how to move quickly! The McCallister grandparents have a cat, Precious, who learned firsthand how fast a little army crawler can move. Precious is 17 years old, slow-moving, and near blind and OMG did Kate LOVE that cat. She coo'd and cheered everytime the cat was in sight....and then she'd make her move ... scurrying over to the cat and usually head butting it while saying "ahhhhhh eeeeeee aaaaaahhhh". It was cute, and Precious was kind enough to put up with it.
Although it was a fun trip, and we were totally spoiled with home cooking, seafood, sweets, and lots of love, we are content not to travel for a while. The darn planes are too small (and having Kate on our laps certainly doesn’t help matters), and Kate is too squirmy. We're happy to be on the homefront. And what's next? Ahhh, Kate's ONE YEAR birthday is already approaching quite quickly!
