We Are Here, We Are Here

Well Raine and I are home sweet home but Reece and Mo are still travelling. They should be home tomorrow tonight. Raine and I flew home last Friday 7.25 from Buffalo, NY. The flight went exceptionally well. I bought Raine a seat since it was the man's big idea that the girls fly home instead of drive back with the boys. His patience with our 23 month old was gone after day 2 of the drive. In her defense she was cutting her I-teeth and two more on the bottom.

For the first 90 minutes of the flight we had a great time playing with toys, reading books and eating snacks. Then we both took a little nap (2 hrs). When we woke up the pilot was talking about us flying over Colorado and that we were about 50 minutes from Vegas. YAY! We played with more toys and ate a few more snacks. We landed, found the nearest bathroom to change Raine and headed toward baggage. I wish I took a picture of Raine walking through the airports with her little backpack on. It was loaded with toys and books and quite heavy but she did it! Thankfully she was miss independent and didn't ask me to pick her up and carry her.

While at the baggage carousel, Raine spotted our suitcase coming around the belt thing-a-majig. She shouted, "there, there mama". The people standing next to her cracked right up. One lady said she needed her to find her bag. I grabbed the suitcase, strapped the car seat to it and we went to find the Russo family. Jen drove us home and showed me our beautifully remodelled closet. I'll add pictures of the amazing job she did later. It is sooo great!
