This past weekend we went on our very first road trip with Dagny since we have been home with her. My brother and his family have a “weekend” house in Binghamton, NY. They invited us down for the weekend to celebrate Emeric’s birthday that was a couple of weeks ago.
I have been preparing Dagny for the long ride (which really wasn’t that long, it was right under three hours) by taking her along on errands around Rochester. I wanted her to get use to the car and the car seat. I think it definitely made a difference because she did well until the very end of the trip both ways.
When we arrived we had the whole day ahead of us before we all went out to dinner to celebrate. We weren’t sure how Dagny was going to react to her new surroundings and if she would remember the family. I honestly believe that she did remember her cousins, aunt and uncle. She felt comfortable in their arms.
The following morning before we put her down for her nap Craig, Erika and Emerson took Dagny on her first sled ride. Dagny was so small they ended up putting her in a laundry basket which was then put in the sled to keep her from falling over.
Here is Craig taking a test run.
Here is our little bundle enjoying her very first sledding experience. (WARNING: LOTS OF PHOTOS)

Oh, yeah… Dagny took her very first step today. A month ago today we were flying back home from Moscow.
Just LOVE the new banner and logo and even more that you allow all of us the opportunity to share these wonderful memories. I do however, really miss my daily in-person Barbara time 🙁

How clever – a laundry basket! Of course now Dagny will want her own (in pink please) at home to play in… the cardboard box of the 2000’s 🙂
