M-O-N-T-A-N-A!

We made it to Montana! This is Henri and Lili's first trip to Big Sky Country. We've had a great break...can't believe our time here is almost over. Here are a few shots from our trip...more to come...but at least these will get you started.

Here is Henri on the train at Southgate Mall with a few of his cousins...Hadley, Danny, and Eastlyn:

Here is Lili with Nick...they loved the train. Henri kept stealing all the kids sippy cups...and Lili...she kept leaving the play pit to go shopping in Dillards. Funny. 

Here Kristin and I are with our cousin, Britney. We haven't all been together for years! Great to catch up! 

Britney, Auntie Dimpy, me, Mom, and Linsey...Linsey is due with baby Ollie any day... 

'Cause we're cousins...Identical cousins!

Henri eating in his mom's old high chair...and reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom: 

Henri meeting Abdisa for the first time. They didn't quite know what to think.  

Poor Henri (and Lili)...both had beginning signs of ear infections. Here is Henri sleeping on his Auntie Toots' lap. Jeff tried to pick him up to put him in bed...and he said "no no no..." and went back to sleep. Needless to say...he was rocked for his entire nap... 

Lili's Godparents, Carol and Tim... 

Reading with Cookie... 

Playing with Cousin Emma...Henri's perfected "Emma." He calls her name all the time...very sweet... 

New trucks! 

Henri loved the airplane...and surprisingly...the flight was not so bad. Here we are on the layover in Salt Lake City. We took Henri and Lili and had them run and run and run until we had to reboard. He loved watching the "air-pane." 

Just in time for our arrival...Henri and Lili's first snow! 

Sleeping in the airport before boarding for Missoula. The running worked. 

Leaving Orlando...packed and ready... 

Loving the Bitteroot Valley views.... 

Henri...loving driving. Not really....but he's definitely practicing. Yikes. The legal age in MT is 15...only 13 years away! 

Lili and Auntie Toots and their fish lips... 

Celebrating Dad's 67th birthday...at the Sons of Norway lodge. 

More Montana pictures coming soon...having a fabulous trip!
