Sam and I at the airport in Portland. Please notice Sam is missing a shoe. We were also missing da-da, who got stuck in Chicago after a business trip in Wisconsin. He met us in the Baltimore airport. Thank goodness for my cousin C, who helped me unload the car, check baggage, and keep Sam smiling prior to our going through security. I would not have got to this smiling picture without her!
Landed in Baltimore and da-da picked us up in the rental car. Sam was BESIDE himself to see his Dad. The biggest smile! He hadn't seen da-da's face in a week!

There were holiday gifts exchanged on Saturday morning - and Sam ended up in one!
Another from Aunt A - Sam and Uncle K.
On Saturday night we toured the holidays lights and feasted with extended A's. The visits and weekends spent with the A's are always filled with delicious food, including lasagna, waffles, quiches, bagels, and lots of cheese.
On this visit I also learned more about Sam's namesake, his great-Zaydie (great-grandfather.) He was described as a man who was always positive, put family first, and didn't have a malicious bone in his body. I hope our lil Sam shares these same qualities as he grows.
Our trip home was epic. After a snowstorm in Maryland which made for a white-knuckled drive to the airport and three-hours stuck on the tarmac prior to take-off, we finally arrived home around 10pm on Sunday night.
Some photos of Sam's journey on Sunday...
Packing up at Nana and Grandad's. Photo from Aunt A. Just love his little side smirk in this one!
Snoozing in the airport prior to boarding.
The following photos reflect a calm, angelic, baby sleeping on a plane. Let's just say photos were not taken during the screaming, crying, and sadness that results of three hours of NOT MOVING in a confined space. Poor kid. Had to share these angelic ones though!
Trying to find any way to get some cozies going.
Snuggling with momma.
We landed!
Thanks to the A's for having us! So glad that everyone made it home safely after the weather troubles on Sunday.
Sam and I won't be flying any time soon.
Looks like a fun weekend minus the trek home! Love the long sweater that you're wearing in the first pic!!
