To Saskachewan and Beyond!!!

Hi everyone! As I promised in the last blog entry, I am posting some photos of our trip from out west. Hope you enjoy!
A snapshot of Milan on the plane. He did so well! I doubt he even knew he was off the ground to tell the truth... We had Sasha's dad, Janko, drive us to the airport and help us to check our luggage, then we were really on our own. It went very smoothly, which made me so happy as I had been pretty anxious about travelling with a baby alone for the first time. For those who don't know, Sasha and his parents were joining us in Saskatchewan for Grandma Flo and Grampa Joe's wedding 8 days after Milan and I arrived.

Here is a photo of Milan at Grandma Flo's and Grampa Joe's after we arrived. He is such a little hero! All that travelling and bustling about and nothing but smiles from him!! We were so glad to get there and get unpacked - it was really nice to be back in Saskatchewan again.

Grandma Flo was so happy to have her little boy with her again! No one has more fun than these two when they are together. Milan is always comforted by the sound of her voice and is easy to smile when she is around.

After we had been in Rosetown for 2 nights, it was time to drive to Regina to see Great-Grandma and Great Grampa Seitz. Milan is the first Great-Grandchild, so it was really special to see them together and snap a few photos. The drive from Rosetown to Regina was about 3 hours long and it was also the first time Milan and Mommy were in the car driving together alone for such a great distance. We were troopers and made it safely without a hitch.

Many other members of the Seitz clan got to meet King Milan for the first time while we were there. The visit wouldn't have felt complete without a traditional Seitz meal made by Grandma Adeline. M-M-Tastee!! Thanks Grandma for the wonderful supper!

Here is a neat photo of Renee and Uncle George hanging out with Milan.

This is Suzanne, one of the greatest mom's I have ever met, she continues to inspire me daily, with Milan, Liliana, and little Elana in the background. She didn't even break a sweat for this photo. I did.
The woman with the magic touch. If anyone needs rocking to sleep, see her.

Simone needed her baby-fix one evening, so she brought Michele and Jeremy over for a visit. Jeremy gave Milan a toy which used to be his as a baby and it has become one of Milan's favorites! Thanks Jeremy!
Here is Michele with Milan. Milan didn't give her a easy time holding him, but she did a great job! Michele also celebrated her 13th birthday while we were visiting in Saskatchewan. Happy Birthday girlfriend! :-D
The day before the wedding, some family and friends gathered to decorate the hall. With every one's help, it turned out wonderfully! We were ready to party! Here is Aunt Alice meeting Milan for the first time.
On the wedding day, Grandma Flo looked absolutely gorgeous all done up with her hair and make-up. A beautiful bride indeed! Grampa Joe looked extremely handsome and it was obvious when he was standing with his sons that good looks run in the family for sure! Never one to be outdone, Milan insisted on wearing his tuxedo so that he might be presentable and dressed for the occasion. He looked quite dapper, and everyone agreed that James Bond himself would cast an envious eye to our little man.
That's it for now! Hope you enjoyed all the photos! Take care everyone!
