…Auntie Kim, I hate to see you go….
We saw Auntie Kim off today @ the airport – @ this exact moment she is on a big bird in the sky on her way to London! We are super excited for her and so proud of her but will miss her much! She and my parents came down yesterday evening and stayed overnight and then after a pancake breakfast we got ready to take her to the airport. We were happy to spend the afternoon with Kim since she will be gone for so long(sniff…sniff) – and Tyler was especially happy about these little moments he got to spend with her…
Sharing McD’s French Fries…
Holding hands….
Long Walks…
In between these special moments with Auntie Kim, Tyler did manage to poop, which is what he is doing in this picture….
…which is not material I make a habit of writing about on my blog, but the funny part is that he went over to this spot and took his “stance” if you will, and I knew just what he was doing because his face was turning a little red, and once he was done he popped up and hollered out “ALL DONE POOPING….ALL DONE POOPING….” while doing his sign for all done. Needless to say, I wasn’t the only one who knew what was going on, after that the WHOLE concourse knew!
After a tire rotation, he then christened the floor @ the new airport by licking it! GROSS!!! I was right there! How do these things happen?!?!?
Tyler seemed to know something was up though after Kim checked her luggage because she was walking just a little in front of his stroller and he just out of the blue said “Kim, I wuv you.” Hearing him say “I love you” in his little voice is about the cutest thing ever and it nearly makes me cry every time I hear it – especially now because he is starting to say it more and more just out of the blue – unprompted – just randomly – it is too sweet!
So Auntie Kim, Tyler (and MeMe) wanted me to share a few little reminders for your trip….remember trust no one, don’t talk to strangers, always take a buddy, keep your passport with you @ all times, and have FUN! And remember – WE LOVE YOU! CHEERS!
Oh how cute. I hope that Kim as an awesome time, learns a few things, meets new and exciting people and is ready to come home when its time.

What a wonderful time Kim will have–and Sharon and Tom when they visit. Could Tyler fit in a carry-on? I loved looking at all the Christmas pics, as well as reading all the descriptions. Ever think of creative writing? You and Craig are great parents!
