Dear Leo,
We were pretty nervous about getting you down to your new home in Arizona. It was an 8 1/2 hour drive from Moab and generally speaking, you hate driving. On the way down to Springville from Grandma and Grandpa McSwain's (our first leg of the trek) we really REALLY wanted to stop one more time at Eva's Bakery in Salt Lake City. We justified it by saying that we should really stop to get a treat for Ty and Bre for driving down with us. It was a huge risk. You were being good and we knew it wouldn't last. We did it anyway and of course you started screaming after our stop. I had bought some mangos for you (your very FIRST solid) but decided to save it for this very trek to see if it helped to distract you at all. So when you started crying, I opened the first pack and put a bite on your pacifier. It was magic. And that trick got us all the way to Safford.

It got a little crazy. A couple of times I had to wipe you all the way down and change your whole outfit. But it was worth it.
