Elias mini vacation
Click on the photos to see the Big Picture
Elia with her Mom and Dad took a quick trip to Myrtle Beach South Carolina to visit her Daddy's Mom. They did many fun things there.
The weather was still warm enough for a trip to the beach.
And as you can see on her way back home while reading a book about Airplanes that her grandma had bought for her, one of the stewardess heard her joy and thrill over planes and all kinds of info. Before leaving the plane she met the Captain, sat in the Co-Pilots seat and learned about and tried out many of th controls. The Captain signed her book for her and told her she had earned her wings. Needless to say this is one very excited little girl.

Upcoming Trip to Arizona
HINT If you don't know Elia's story you can click on the title to this thread Upcoming Trip to Arizona and read all about my wonderful Grandbaby girl.
Next Monday June 23 I will be flying to see my Grandaughter Elia and of course her Mom and Dad too. My daughter has sent me the latest Airline rule changes so that I will be good to go. Here they are Attendant: Welcome aboard Ala Carte Air, sir. May I see your ticket? > > Passenger: Sure. > > Attendant: You're in seat 12B. That will be $5, please! > > Passenger: What for? > > Attendant: For telling you where to sit. > > Passenger: But I already knew where to sit. > > Attendant: Nevertheless, we are now charging a seat locator fee of $5.> It's the airline's new policy. > > Passenger: That's the craziest thing I ever heard. I won't pay it. > > Attendant: Sir, do you want a seat on this flight, or not? > > Passenger: Yes, yes. All right, I'll pay. But the airline is going to> hear about this. > > Attendant: Thank you. My goodness, your carry-on bag looks heavy. Would> you like me to stow it in the overhead compartment for you? > > Passenger: That would be swell, thanks. > > Attendant: No problem. Up we go, and done! That will be $10, please. > > Passenger: What? > > Attendant: The airline now charges a $10 carry-on assistance fee. > > Passenger: This is extortion. I won't stand for it. > > Attendant: Actually, you're right, you can't stand. You need to sit, and> fasten your seat belt. We're about to push back from the gate. But,> first I need that $10. > > Passenger: No way! > > Attendant: Sir, if you don't comply, I will be forced to call the air> marshal. And you really don't want me to do that. > > Passenger: Why not? Is he going to shoot me? > > Attendant: No, but there's a $50 air-marshal hailing fee. > > Passenger: Oh, all right, here, take the $10. I can't believe this. > > Attendant: Thank you for your cooperation, sir. Is there anything else> I can do for you? > > Passenger: Yes. It's stuffy in here, and my overhead fan doesn't seem> to work. Can you fix it? > > Attendant: Your overhead fan is not broken, sir. Just insert two> quarters into the overhead coin slot for the first five minutes. > > Passenger: The airline is charging me for cabin air? > > Attendant: Of course not, sir. Stagnant cabin air is provided free of> charge. It's the circulating air that costs 50 cents. > > Passenger: I don't have any quarters. Can you make change for a dollar?> > > Attendant: Certainly, sir! Here you go! > > Passenger: But you've given me only three quarters for my dollar. > > Attendant: Yes, there's a change making fee of 25 cents. > > Passenger: For crying' out loud. All I have left is a lousy quarter?> What the heck can I do with this? > > Attendant: Hang onto it. You'll need it later for the lavatory.> > Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. >

Christmas 2007
Merry Christmas everyone! This is my third Christmas with mommy and daddy! I can’t believe two years ago I was at an orphanage! Now I am home and love my family. This is my Christmas dress. I know it’s a little dark, but I am two, so mommy and daddy couldn’t take many pictures because I kept moving. This is the best one. They did the best they could. I have been very good this year. I watched Elmo’s Christmas tonight. Daddy asked if I wanted Santa to bring me an Elmo doll. I said yes! I sure hope I get one! Well, Merry Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year! I love you all.
Elia
