Life Down Under

Back in Kansas City Now

We had a wonderful week at home in CT with my parents. Dad took the day off work on Thursday, and though it was a rainy day, we still had lots of fun together at home, relaxing and enjoying being together. Friday morning Joanie and I took Taylor to an indoor playground, since it was raining again. We wanted to give her a chance to 'exercise her large motor skill abilities' before sitting on an airplane all evening. She had lots of fun, and Taylor certainly did get some energy out!

Our plane ride home was good - Taylor was an angel both flights! She really is such a good little traveller. Lord knows she's sure done it enough. We did have a bit of adventure along the way, though, barely making our connection in Charlotte........after boarding our plane in Hartford about 15 minues late, we were just about ready to take off.....and the piolet then told us that there was no flight path for us, and we had to wait for take-off...and he was going to turn off the engines to conserve fuel. I knew then we were in trouble, as we only had a 1 hour layover in Charolette. 10 minutes later he came on and said that we would be waiting for about 45 minutes. By that time I was wondering if we'd get into KC that night, or if we'd be spending the night in North Carolina. This is when I started praying even more. 5 minutes later, the piolet told us that we had been cleared for take-off in 5 minutes. So we got into Charolette in just enough time for us to run/walk fast through the airport to arrive at our next gate in just enough time to board. That was a close one, but I'm so thankful we made that flight!

So it's good to be back in Kansas City. I kept thinking when we were in CT that we were coming back to KC 'cuz we lived here......it is still weird to think about the fact that we don't live here, even tho it still feels like home. I'm hoping these next two weeks go by reeeeaaally, reeeeeallly slow!
