Leavin' on a Jet Plane...

Hey guys,

This is Eli. Mommy, Daddy, and I are all going on a trip today! I've been ready for ages, but the two of them are running around like crazy people trying to get things done. So, I thought I'd blog and tell all of my favorite people bon voyage (whatever that means...)!

We're headed to Omaha to stay in my first hotel room before we fly out, on my first plane trip, to TX. Daddy gets to be in one of his friend's wedding and dress up like a penguin--that should be pretty funny! Thanks Grandpa & Doonie Birney for letting us use your wheels and your house while you're gone. I'm excited to see it! Then on Sunday we're off flying to Philly where we will drive to Bethany Beach, DE to meet all of my relatives on Daddy's side. I've never stayed in a house with 20 people in it-- I hope I don't have to share my crib with any big kids! After that, we head back to Philly to see my Great Grandma Sitti (Penny) and then another wedding at Swarthmore (Daddy's school)! What a blessing to be able to see all of my family at once! Thank you, Jesus, for making planes so that I don't have to sit in that dreaded car seat too long!

I'll be sure that Mommy posts lots of pictures of all my "firsts" when we get home. Mommy says she's ready now, so I'll leave you with a picture of yours truly, all ready for my adventure!


Don't mind my misshapen head. It's the mirror... I promise!


Love you... EKB

  3. I was so happy to get the birth announcement....wonderful news. I had been thinking about you all and wondering if the Birney baby had been born. Stacy you look beautiful. I can see the joy on your face. How are you going to handle 2 boys? (a big one and a little one)
    You have been blessed with lots of patience I know. have a fabulous trip.. good on you for getting out there with a little one. You will bring happiness to so many showing off this handsome little guy. I was at the airport the other day and watched grandparents meet their grandson for the first time. I didnt know them, but was bawling anyway....its a special moment that is never repeated.

    Jodie had Mason Charlie on March 11th, so not too much before you.

    PS...at the wedding check to see if the bridesmaids are wearing silver shoes..!! HUGS
