Home

We made it! We are home in Houston now and I am happy to say I did my first solo flight with all three kids. (Erin flew with me on the way there since she was going to NY from CA.) Well four really because Hannah came home with us too. But she is self sufficient and I didn't have to do anything for her so really three kids. It didn't go bad at all. Pretty much exactly as I pictured it. Rachel slept for half the flight, Colt slept the last 30 minutes, and Livy didn't sleep at all. And they weren't interested in the movie really. I'm glad I have done it now and I am not so scared to do it again. Except for next time will probably be when Colt is walking and that might be even harder to contain him. The only incident we had was that in all the nervousness and craziness of getting out the door to the airport on time, I forgot my suitcase! I really don't know how that happened. How do you leave without your suitcase? We got all the kids luggage though so that's good. But the good news is I'll get it back when mom comes to get Hannah soon. It's been great having Hannah here so far. The girls love her to pieces and they are all playing so great together. Eric put her on the payroll, a quarter a day for her services! Poor kid needs to up her prices! She did good bargaining to get a dollar from him for a 5 minute back rub. It's great having an older kid around. Kind of makes me think we could have more when the girls get a bit older!
