Auspicious Moon Rising

It's May 6th, 2012. Less than 5 hours before Maya boards her first Boeing 737 in route for Ohio. I snapped this shot as we got home from our last minute grocery run (to make sure Mommy has plane snacks too) at 9:30 PM.  It's from our porch. I know, just about everyone saw the crazy big moon tonight but from this angle it was crazy cool rising above the red neon cross of the nearby church. It's moments like this that make me wish I had a better camera. (and I could actually take decent photos)

Now at 2:21 AM while I wait and make sure Maya falls back to sleep after her last feeding, she hit another milestone: rolling over to her stomach. Not once but 3 times I put her on her back, boom, right back on her stomach. Silly girl.

Be good to your Mama on the plane sweetheart. I'll meet back up with you soon. -- Love, Daddy.
