Back in Wales
Tonight is the first time I've been awake enough to blog! We made it home and are all doing well, thank you so much for praying for us! The girls did so great on the "long" and "short" flight. I could not believe how well Addison behaved herself. I mean, an almost 18 month old being strapped in her car seat for 9 hours? It was the grace of God, plain and simple. We were at the back of the plane so we did get to walk some and she made friends with about 50 Russian women who had been in Dallas for a Mary Kay event. Who knew? Not sure if it was all the make-up or the red sequined hats. It was special, y'all.
Jet-lag has not been too bad this time around or maybe I'm too delirious to notice! I've been wide awake from 2-5:30am the last couple of nights and then dead asleep when it's time to get up. But we just make ourselves get up and dressed for the day and that has helped. The girls were so happy to be back home with their beds and toys, but emotions are still running high. The girls are tired and grouchy with each other so we've had our moments. Bailey cried herself to sleep last night saying she was happy to be home but really missed all her friends and family in Texas. But today was a bit brighter for us all. The sun has been out on and off and it's in the 60's! We are loving it, but I'm quite chilly and wearing long sleeves!
We had a play-date this afternoon with some friends from school so that was a lot of fun to be reunited. I did some food shopping as well so things are slowly getting back to normal. I was nervous about driving but it's like riding back, it all comes back to you! Addison is wondering where in the world we are and has been extra clingy and fussy, following us room to room. We did finally get her room put back together today and that has helped her. She loves all her "new" toys and after sleeping in a pack-and-play for so long she's really enjoying stretching out in her bed!
That's all from here for now!
Oh, my back is holding up! I was okay on the flight but feeling quite sore now. The ice pack is my friend.
