Okay, that ws so fun to read!! I laughed on several occasions (I didn't know about the diaper bag incident). That's a clever weay to chalk up events from his first year and your events too. You are quite the travelers!!

Happy Late Birthday Easton!!! First Birthdays are the best. You do need to post pics of that day. Thanks for the help with disneyland, on the airplane did you have to take a carseat or how does that work?
