The Feger Family est. 2012: New York, New York, is everything they say...

and no place that I'd rather be. WHERE ELSE can ya do a half a million things, all at a quarter til three?!?!?!?!? Gosh that's one of my favorites. ALL TIME favs, can't stop singing it. Another one of my favorites is going to NY to visit the fam. Thanks Andre for the tickets and car for our anniversary present so we can go home.

Take a peek at E and his posish, he cracks me up.

Sissy up front. It was hysterical. Two large checked suitcases, one car seat checked, one car seat on the plan with two kids and three carry-ons. If E could walk right now, that would help a TON, other than he'd probably be running in the opposite direction.

Signing mama

Like father like son...

Sissy always steps up to the plate when I need her entertainment most, thanks Clara. You're a rock star!

THIS position right here is why I made us lug this darn seat on the plane. He would never settle in an airplane seat on his own, too much space. He needs to be surrounded, he's used to his seat and DVD player since we're always in the car. I knew the chances of him falling asleep are highly likely as well if he were in this seat. Finally, the last time I traveled with Clara when she had her own seat, she wanted to sit on my lap during turbulence and of course they aren't allowed. Everett wouldn't like that space, he's not comfortable with lots of space around him, especially since surgery. He's always been panicky in small spaces, maybe he's claustrophobic. Who knows. Anywhoo, he would be crawling all over, or wanting to be on my lap...when he's locked in here, he knows his role! It made travel quite easy, other than the lugging it around part. He slept for a good hour and a half on the way up and was cozy in his seat the entire time.

Great family pic. Ha.

Andre sends pics and then everything is out of order and I don't have the patience to jump all over to put them in order, I think you can figure out the sequence.

Clara was super excited. It was the most fun we'd ever had with her traveling. She enjoyed it before, but not like this.

Atta boy. He was perfect as always, drank on the way up, and on the decent, he makes life so simple, it's amazing.

I didn't expect this.

Such a silly boy. Like my spray tan? Haha, I needed to look like it was summer. I'm always in the shade with E dog and or plastered in their sunblock.

drool

Phahahhaahahahahah, the cheeto on her tooth, phahahahahahahah.

She may look like she is smiling for a second, but take a closer gander at the expression. She got a cat nap. Cat naps are scarier than wild cats for us. She woke up on the decent, ears hurting and out of place and screamed. This is the first time she has every screamed during travel in all of the times we've flown with her. It was loud. It should have been embarrassing but there's nothing you can do. I could tell Andre had had it after a few minutes so we switched, she continued until we deplaned. She always keeps things interesting.

We crammed into a Yaris. Barely. The suitcase had the kids seats pushed out their doors, Everett behind me clearly. It was so tight, and funny. Andre wasn't laughing though, that's a pretend grin. ;)

Finally, together at last. Fi is SO big.

Breakfast picnic.

These two were like little old ladies bickering the entire time. It was comical and draining, but what we would expect from them. They're two spitfires, that's for darn sure. They sure had a lot of fun despite all their banters.

Ity-bity bodies climbing a very steep hill, all I could see was Clara piling over head first down the hill day one of vacation so I cut her off after the third (almost) mishap. They did more later and thankfully no big accidents, this time.
