Oklahoma Vacation (and video!)

// June 8th, 2009 // 3 Comments » // fun

Haven’t posted a blog in almost a week, which is a crazy amount of time for me. I have stuff to say people! But the last seven days have been crazy busy, including a day trip up to Williams, Arizona for me, and then Jina’s family reunion in Oklahoma over the weekend.

So we’re headed to Oklahoma this weekend for Jina’s family reunion and it marks the very first time Lyla will ride on an airplane in her short, 6-month life.
