Beth and Susannah once again fly the unfriendly skies

It all began so smoothly this time! We had the whole row to ourselves on both legs of our journey to Tennessee. Just the girls this time--we flew down so Mom could participate in Lisa and Wade's rockin' wedding.

Since it was only a two-and-a-half day trip, we really had to hustle. Susannah had great visits with her great grandmother Mimi, two of her three sets of grandparents and one of her great aunts. Beth made it to the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner, and then both of us went to the wedding Saturday night, with some help from Grandma Moonpie.

Tired and droopy, we flopped on the plane back to New York Sunday afternoon and didn't get home til midnight. Both planes were completely full, then we were delayed in Atlanta, then once we finally got to NY they kept us sitting on the runway for an hour because there were no open gates, and when we finally made it to the taxi line we waited for another 45 minutes because apparently everyone at the airport needed a taxi at the exact same time. Poor little S did a great job and had more patience than people 40 times her age. Beth gets points for not having a nervous breakdown.

Delta's suckiness aside, it was a lovely trip as you can see from these photos. Grandpa Jim took some beautiful shots as always. There's nothing better than putting Susannah in the arms of her family.

I didn't take any wedding photos though--kinda hand my hands full. Christie if you can send me a few as attachments I'll post them.
































































































One more thing--I was so close to catching Ben in the "who does Susannah look like" poll! But now he's beating me again. Who's out there rigging this thing?

Obviously there are more Aplins than Cranwells out there.

No doubt about one thing, she is adorable at any angle!

Miss you both!

Beth,

I am voting for you all the time....all the time. Why don't you just stop the foolishness. We all know who she looks like.

GEEZ!

Ben doing the baby airplane with Susannah brings in double points for "looks like Dad"....but that cutest of all noses brings a vote for "looks like Mom"

Beth - i'm exhausted just READING about your flight home. Hope you're rested!

Love to you three
