The girls and I had a 15 hour trip the first 5 hours we sat next to somebody; he was an older man so I'm not sure how pleased he was with us but I tried to contain us all. I also made alot of apologies and thanks to the man, I'm sure he'll be fine in the long run. The second 7 hour flight was good because we each had our own seat, it was great accept for the last 4 hours which isn't too shabby for 14 hours of travel. Julia ate so much mint gum that her poo smelled mint(I know TMI but I thought it was funny). The girls just sort of had enough of being cooped up I think and were just going nuts on those last 4 hours but on the last lay over I let them run around a play with another little girl so I think they got some energy out. and the last flight was only a half hour so over all I think everything ran smoothly; or at least I maintained some of my sanity.
My Dad picked us up at the airport and gave us leighs and when he walked away Sarah said that Papa was her favorite papa; which I thought was sweet. Mom was at home to greet us and show us our rooms. The girls room is painted purple and green with Hello Kitty blankets to match. My room in the garage is suprisingly spacious. I have a freezer in there, washer and dryer, and one of those awesome tower fans. Mom put some drawers in there for me but I think we might need one more and a small hanging closet and then we will be set. The girls love the pool. They get in it as much as I am willing to pull them in and out. I love the fact that my parents have cable thank God for PBS. The girls have been getting up at 5:30 in the morning so after a couple hours of non stop running around it's nice to turn it on and take a breather. My Dad, me, and the girls walked their dogs around this morning; we walked pretty fare down the ridge and going up was pretty steep but we all hung in there. It was a nice walk. I'm missing everyone in Maryland so much but things are going well. It's very good to have my parents help out for even just an hour here or there and they are happy to see there grandchildren. I think with having 4 adults in the house the girls are going to benefit with the attention and guidance they will receive.

It's so good to hear that you all got in ok and that the girls are getting to spend more time with your parents. I think it's great that they will have such a positive bond with them and that you get to have some time to yourself too. I can't wait to see some pictures of all your fun in the sun.
