Utah - Here Lance and Mommy come!

Lance and I arrived in Utah on Thursday, August 9, 2007. I was super nervous to fly with him, and just had no clue what to expect. Well, I should have suspected it would go great, I mean Lance is the super champ! I was super worried about his ears hurting during take off and landing, but he didn't even bat an eyelid! He slept through the whole flight - even the last 20 minutes when we had horrendous turbulence. Thanks for being so awesome my little buddy! Here are some pictures of people Lance has seen since we have been in Utah.

My friend Rebekah Steenblik Beck and I have been great friends since our elementrary school days. How exciting that we both had little boys this summer. Her baby, Kameron Chase Beck was born on May 12th, so him and Lance are just 2 months apart. When I saw him the end of May, he was just two weeks old, can you imagine my surprise seeing him yesterday! It is amazing how much they grow in just a couple of months!



Here is Kameron (3 months) and Lance (1 month) - they are going to be great buddies!



Here is Lance with Grandma Driggs. I don't know anyone (well it is a tie between Bella and Helen) who loves babies as much as Helen. Isn't this picture just precious! Lance loves his Grandma Helen!




Ok - Bella is just the cutest thing alive! She is Spencer's 7 year old cousin, and she LOVES babies. I took her over to show the fam little Lance yesterday and I couldn't get over how cute and excited she was about Lance. She held him and loved him and even wanted to go with him when we left. When Spence and I move back to Utah, we get dibbs on Bella as Lance's permanent babysitter!



Lance with Devin and Naomi- thanks for coming to visit guys! Devin and Naomi were our good friends down in Fresno. They just moved to Provo cause Devin is going to BYU Law School. We were so sad that they were going to move before Lance was born, but to everyone's surprise Lance came so early, they were able to meet him in Fresno, and then see him again this past weekend!

Lance and I went straight from the airport to see "Great Nana!" My Nana has been such a light in my life growing up. I love her so much. She is 87, and recently broke her neck and has not been doing too well. She has been so excited to see little Lance - isn't this picture just so precious. I love you Nana - thanks for being such a shining example to me.

Here is Lance with Jo-Jo and uncle Jonathan! My brother is in Law school back in Vermont. He has been living in Midway this summer and has been working up in Heber. He leaves to go back tomorrow. We were so happy that he got to see little Lance before he went back to school.



Lance with Grandma and Grandpa Driggs. We love you guys!



Lance with Grandma Thorne! Love you Grandma!



Lance with mommy's friends - Amy, Natalie, and Linsay! Lindsay's baby Finley is 8 months older than Lance - look, she is already coming on to him! I think they would be such a cute couple! :)

Thanks to everyone for coming and seeing our cute Lance. He loves you all!!!
