Mirror Smooches
Amelia is such a funny little girl. She had such a great time amusing herself in our hotel room in Bali that she decided to give herself a kiss!
Getting ready for Halloween
Halloween may be a month away, but that doesn't stop us from playing dress up with her costume bits. Watch out, she might just put a spell on you!

Snapshots of Summer 2011
There were just too many great photos to share so I put them together as a movie. We had such a lovely holiday with all of you and can't wait to see you again next year. As I put this together, I realized just how little we had the camera out in Iowa. I really wish that I would have taken more photos of Amelia with her midwest clan! Mental note for next year:)

The Ups and Downs of International Travel...
We finally made it back to Jakarta after quite an interesting few days of travel. Since I know many of you were curious how Amelia would do, here is a recap of our journey...
We were checked in by the rudest airline employee in Richmond, who charged us $400 for two "extra" bags that we were actually entitled two, but assured us that, "The computer is NEVER wrong." Boo!
We arrived in Chicago and spoke with a customer service agent who assured us that we should not have been charged. After contacting the agent in Richmond, who refused to issue a refund, they manually did it for us. Yeah!
Our flight to Hong Kong was delayed for four hours. Which meant that we would miss our connection to Jakarta. Boo!
We were supposed to get a bassinet seat, but boarded to find we were in the last row. Boo!
After talking to the flight attendant we were given an extra seat, which is way better than a bassinet. Yeah!
Leaving later meant that our 14 hour leg started much closer to Amelia's bed time and we all got a fair amount of sleep. Yeah!
We arrived in Hong Kong feeling rested and ready for our next leg, but it wasn't for another ten hours. Boo! But, United put us up in a hotel for the night. Yeah!
We arrived at the airport bright and early to receive our new tickets since we had to be re-booked, but the counter was closed. Boo!
Once we were finally checked in we found out that the bassinet seat was booked so they gave us an extra seat. Yeah!
We all had a nap just in to make it home for an impromptu baby group reunion. Double Yeah!
Once the jet leg (yes, I have been awake since 2am and despite my best deep breathing have not been able to fall back asleep!) has subsided. I will post some photos from our summer. We were not online a whole lot so I have some great photos that have not been shared!
