Sunday-California 2008


We were early to rise this am despite our REALLY long and exhausting day yesterday!! We woke up just after 6:30am. By about 10 I had heard nothing from the airline so began one of many calls to track down our luggage. We enjoyed a leisurely morning (in our PJs since that is all we had) with Em, Michael and sweet little Alexandra. We also had some fun talking to Aunt Sandra on the computer--we could see her and she could see us! SHe watched the girls play for a while after we talked. It was really neat! Margaret loved the magical tree in the front yard and is sure it is a great place for fairies and unicorns to live. We met some friends for a late lunch....still no luggage and then hit the park. It was a really nice day! We got home after 5pm, and my luggage had finally arrived. Everything was accounted for and there in time to take a bath and get ready for bed. We were really tired!! Does all this luggage mess warrant an upgrade for the flight home? Anyone know how to get that little perk taken care of?
Some of the delay was not fun and games....notice the "naughty circle" (pink) in my purse. I did not actually have to pull it out!
Margaret had a great time making "art" with her velcro puff balls, beads, and pipe cleaners on a small felt board. Thank goodness she liked all the activities I had packed! Eating lunch.....this was just before we found out about the 5 hour delay...we though we would be boarding in 20 minutes at this point.Margaret had a great time carrying Madeline around in the Beco...this was after Margaret rode around in it! Yes my back hurt just a little and we got quite a few looks...considering she is more than 1/2 my height!

Margaret slept really well on the plane after our exhausting airport adventure.
