Pics from our trip, finally

For those of you who don’t know, we went to visit Derek’s family in Australia & New Zealand the last part of May.  When we got back we moved right into our house, and have been a little busy, so I’m just now getting around to updating the blog.

Eli sitting in the luggage cart at the airport.  He was such a great traveler!  He pushed his stroller all around the airports, made friends with random strangers, slept well on the long flights in his basinet, and watched DVDs when he was awake.

Derek’s parents live right by the beach, so it was nice to walk and jog on the beach in the mornings.
