We're Home!

We made it home yesterday safe and sound!  Of course, not without a little frustration.

We left Logan early due to the weather.  We were leaving just as we had arrived....with lots and lots of snow.  We did manage to have a yummy lunch at Red Robin. 

Our original flight was schedule to leave at 4:30 pm  to Denver, have  a short layover, and arrive in Little Rock at 10 pm.  We got our luggage checked in all 4 bags and our car seats.  We thought we were incredibly lucky 1 bag was over by a couple of pounds and they said it was alright.  We had Shawn's mom there just in case, our bags were overweight.  We went through security no problem.  Shawn went to check on our flight it wasn't listed.  Uh Oh!  So, he went to the gate.....yep it's delayed by an hour.....our layover was only an hour.  We weren't sure we could brave another sprint through the Denver airport especially when it was quite likely we would not even make it.  United's solution was to stay the night in Denver on our dime of course, leave at 6 am Wednesday morning for Chicago and then fly to Little Rock.  There was no other flights to Little Rock until late Wednesday evening.  After our flight was delayed even longer, we were finally able to get on a flight to Dallas with another airline.  We stayed the night at Auntie J's and Uncle Ronnie's (they only live 20 minutes from the airport) and flew out the next morning.  14 hours later than expected, we arrived at our home with a sigh of relief.  Amazingly enough our luggage made it to Little Rock Tuesday night and was waiting for us when we got here.  

Shawn's mom was so sweet to take us to the airport in the nasty snow.  On her way home the freeway was closed because of a wreck.  She didn't make it home till much later than expected.  She had her own adventure as well.  

We are very thankful for the play areas in the airport which helped with the stress level immensely.....the majority of the time anyway!  There was some older girls playing with Ashlin and one of them walked up to me and said Jaxon is distracting us after being there for 3 hours I told her deal with it he's not hurting you.  It's probably a good thing their parents had ditched them.  They might have been slightly annoyed with my abrupt response.  

We are also very grateful for those who helped us along the way listening to our adventures, turning up our heat, picking us up, and so on and so forth.  Although, it was quite stressful getting to Dallas.  It is always a joy to see my Aunt!  She is the best and always takes good care of us!
