We made it!
Mission Trip # 2 with a baby. Although she is much more of a toddler than an infant. (not sure which is harder/easier, to be honest!) She did great though--quite a trooper the whole week, especially considering she had nothing close to a routine or schedule while we were gone.
Gramama came along to be "team X". Her mission trip job is baby support--she took care of Xaris when I needed to do my job. A lot of my mission trip work included them...like delivering cookies to each of the work sites every day!
Of course everyone was happy to see both her AND cookies.
One team had a 'family' of blue army paratroopers (who had lost their chutes). X gnawed on one for awhile. I think another ended up in a water bottle and one got sawed in half by a chop saw. This one didn't have it that bad, comparatively.
Saturday morning before we head back home:
3 Generations of mission trip girls.
Team TieDyePteradactyls (Ricardo's team)
Team Sweat (just sweat)
Team Bearded Crew
The whole group
