This past Wednesday as we celebrated Arianna's first birthday, we headed to Georgia for the fall seminar in Atlanta. The seminar was a great reason to have Katie and Arianna come with and see her Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kristy as well as her Grandma Maryanna who flew down from Washington state to see her granddaughter on her birthday. There were only 20 or so people on our flight to Atlanta and that meant Arianna could walk around, have her own seat and generally have a fun time for the two and a half hour flight. We opened up birthday presents and she did great flying. We spent Wednesday evening at Kevin's house in Warner Robbins and then I headed to Atlanta to teach and Katie and Arianna got in a lot of family time and a chance to see several of Katie's old college friends in Macon. Katie and Arianna came up to Atlanta Sunday and we flew home yesterday. It was an early morning wake up and this time Arianna slept most of the flight but did wake up for the last 45 minutes and talk constantly to make up for lost time. We have just three weeks left in the fall term. Next week our cousin Chuck and his family are visiting and that will give us a great chance to play tourist with them.
