Asante went on his first trip September 11th. Where better to go than Kansas! The two of us flew there on the 11th, and Amar joined us on the 15th. It was so good to see our family and friends. There are so many people who love Asante that he finally got to meet! Asante had a little bit of a rough time, he was just in an unfamilar place, and was a little stressed out. We made it through, and I'm so glad we went! We had a busy week. We got in Tuesday afternoon; Great Grams picked us up from the airport and we went and saw her new duplex, and meet Susie. Then we went to Mimi and Papa's, where we stayed for the week. Wednesday we went to lunch with Aunt Annie, Uncle Ryan and Cousin Liam. Then had dinner with them, and the Margherio's that evening. Thursday we went to lunch with my friend Katherine. After lunch I had a hair appointment so Asante spent the afternoon with Mimi and Aunt Annie. Thursday evening we went to see Grammy. Friday Asante and I went to the Kansas City Zoo with my best friend (and Asante's God-Mother), Jenna and her daughter (my God-Daughter), Hallie. Friday evening, all my best friends came over, Aunt Lizzie, Aunt Kirsten and Aunt Kaleigh. Saturday morning we went to pick up Daddy from the airport, then had pictures taken with Angela. After pictures we went to the McCormkick McCormick and Schmick's in Kansas City to get the Chocolate Bag, since they don't have it in Indy :-( After the bag we went to Aunt Thu and Uncle Matt's house. They were kind enough to have my whole family over, so Asante could meet everyone at the same time. He met Uncle Matt and Aunt Thu, Cousin Leah and Cousin Michael, Uncle Brian and Aunt Gay. Sunday we went to Gran's house, where Asante met Aunt Alison, Uncle Mark and Cousin Kristen. He also met my girlfriends significant others, Michael and Ryan. We flew home Monday evening. Asante was a champ on both flights, he didn't even wake up once! It was a great trip, and I can't wait to go back so Asante can see everyone again!
