We're HOME!

I have much catch-up blogging to do, but suffice it to say after approximately 28 hours of traveling, we arrived home, then slept, and now CEK, CC and D are all sleeping again.

I'm trying to unpack and figure out what's going on in my real world.....

Oh, and two major events in transit ... CEK and CC bonded even more (for the last 2 days they've been doing great), so much so that they both drove mom and dad nuts. Just like real siblings! As Catherine says ... they're "best buddies"! (yay!!).

AND we conquered the stroller issue. After arriving San Fran, we had to get our luggage and get it through customs and there was no way I could push the stroller while holding CC while Don pushed the luggage cart. I tried. Couldn't do it. And there were no redcaps to be found (I had 100 one dollar bills specifically for tipping redcaps and bellmen, so where were they??????). At any rate, Mommy broke down, strapped Isabella Chenchen in, and pushed a screaming child through the airport. After a while, she settled down, and then when we got to the gate and went to the bathroom, she RUSHED back to the stroller and started to strap herself in!!!!!

Other exciting news: She says "Mama" all the time, clear as a bell. And she loves playing Peek Eye, and said "peek eye," too! She also says "Vroom" and imitates a plane taking off. She was a traveling pro, though she did cry in her sleep much of the long flight. I think it was a combo of stress and discomfort and the fact that she couldnt' roll over b/c I had her strapped in in case of turbulence.

OK, this is longer than I'd planned for a short "we're home" post.

Will catch up on blogging today or tomorrow!!!
