Home safe and sound

We made it home safe and sound last night. All of our flights connected smoothly-thank heavens. Had to take the electric car in Minneapolis to catch our Anchorage flight, but we made it with about 5 minutes to spare. I had to carry the car seat over everyones heads as I boarded the plane-I think I knocked a few people with the seat and with my bags. Whoops!!

Stuey and Nora did quite well on the flights. Nora had several crying bouts, as to be expected. She particularly didn't like it when I had to walk up and down the aisle with Stuey once to get him calmed down. Just as he quited down, Nora started crying and motioning "Up". So I had to walk up and down once with her. For about an hour one or the other child was crying. Our fellow passengers were troopers!!

When we got home, Nora charged towards the mud puddles in the driveway and proceeded to play in them for a good 10 minutes. She stomped all around in them, got very wet, but I didn't mind. It was nice to see her so happy in her element!

Upon arriving back in our home, Nora cruised around for close to 2 hours checking out all her books, hanging with the doggies, playing with her toys. She was quite pleased to be home, I could tell.

The trip East went as wonderfully as it possibly could have!! We had plenty of hang out/relax time as well as time with family. The warm weather followed us everywhere we went, which was quite nice. 60's and 70's pretty much the entire time we were there.

Emmy and Nora had a fun time on the yard in Emmy's house near Boston. She helped Granny garden and would spend time in the evenings on the yard with Emmy.

The library photo of Megan with the kiddos is in the living room of Emmy's house in Rockport, Maine. That is where we spent a large part of our trip. The outdoor photo of the white house is the outside of that house. The alligators are metal sculptures Dicky made for Emmy several years ago. Zoya
