Elsa was a total champ on both plane rides. We are totally being spoiled. She's dang near the perfect kid as we near the seven-month mark.
It was a huge joy and blessing to watch Elsa be loved on by so many of her friends and family last week.
Tons of photos, so I will just let them (well, and the captions) do most of the talking this time.
About to get on her first airplane!
The guy in the purple is NFL #1 draft pick and former UGA Bulldog Matthew Stafford.
Ran into cousin/supporter George Dillard. Good thing he didn't see Stafford or he might have earned himself a restraining order. George, God bless him, is one of those thousands (millions?) of obnoxious Bulldog fans plaguing our society. Thankfully he contributes in other ways.
First time through the dwarf door!
Post-flight nap on Granddaddy / Jabbo. (Waiting to see which of those two names she prefers to call him.)
