we had the most wonderful trip to greenville, south carolina last weekend to see harper's uncle robert get married. this is lee's (daddy) brother. he was married to the lovely jan, or as h says, aunt janny. downtown greenville was a perfect place to have the family gathered. there were lots of shops and restaurants to keep us busy over the weekend. many of the clippards were able to meet h for the first time. it was nice seeing everyone again and harper was happy to see all of her cousins. she is enjoying weddings these days, this being her second in the past month. the morning after the latest wedding she said, "go another wedding?" she was a trooper staying up late a few days in a row and partying with the family. most of us stayed in the same hotel, so it was nice to see everyone every morning for breakfast before we started the day. super sweet to see her and her seattle cousins playing together. the wedding was beautiful. it was nice to be included in the family pictures too.
h did well on the plane there and back. poor thing didn't get to sleep til 1:30am on monday. our flight was delayed after flying into chicago airport. this was during some horrific tornados and weather that showed up. very surprised that they allowed us to fly into chicago from greenville considering the high winds. i think it would have to be one of the most scary flights/landings i have ever been on. one where the people clap at the end, thankful they didn't die. not sure why i was looking out the window, but all i could see was the ground, then wing. ground, then the wing. h was asleep most of the flight and was woken up with a rough landing. she cried for a few mins but i'm sure no one minded since it was such a dramatic landing. we didn't leave chicago until 10pm that night. i am surprised that we even made it out of the airport with all of the delays and cancelled flights. auntie jean was kind enough to pick us up at the airport too. didn't feel right waking h up 4 hours after she finally went to sleep for daycare, so we stayed home the next day to rest.
very thankful for our extended family. they are amazing.
