Elijah, my dad, and I all went to visit my sister for her COLLEGE GRADUATION last weekend! It was Elijah's very first plane trip!! He did FANTASTIC! We flew out of Ontario, had a short layover in Dallas, then into Richmond. Flew out on Friday and came back on Sunday. He did so well on the plane! I was such a proud mommy! He didn't fuss much at all. And 3 out of the 4 plane rides he slept about half way through the flight.
We had so much fun there, too. Elijah loved seeing his Aunt Melody, and meeting his Great Aunt Barrie and cousin (well, my cousin!) Lauren.
And Melody's graduation was great! We are all so proud... never thought that day would come!! (Okay, yeah, i have no room to talk... it is my turn next!!) My dad got as all VCU apparel. Melody & I got matching sweatshirts that say Virginia Commonwealth University, and Eli a tshirt that said the same.
here's our photos!
Looking at the planes... it was barely 6AM right here!
Our layover in Dallas, he was "talking" on the phone. He was just on the phone with Daddy, but continued to talk even after we hung up.

Elijah slept the whole graduation.
Out to dinner
Sticker boy was getting very sleepy by this point!
Checking out Christmas lights. This picture doesn't do the house justice, but it was SUPER cool! The house was decorated all down the side and back and played music all day! I guess they do it in memory of their son who passed away. Very sweet!
Getting ready to leave, sporting Melody's VCU pride!
