and we're off for hawaii!

here's a picture from kepler's first plane ride. she was such a champion on both flights. she cried a little but nothing too major. we even managed to forget her swaddle blanket on the return trip. i mean, really, how can you do that? how can you forget the one thing that matters? whatever. we wound up using the airplane blanket (don't worry, it was wrapped in plastic) and it worked shockingly well.

kepler does seem to have some strange sort of skin rash but i'm sure it's not related (this is a joke).
