I did it!!

!

We are all pretty exhausted. Mary Beth had her first plane ride on Thursday. She is a wonderful sleeper at home, but cannot sleep well out of her crib. She did not stop moving the ENTIRE flight (over three hours). Thankfully, my sister, brother, brother-in-law, and parents were there to help. Bryon's plane was delayed and he didn't get to the hotel until well after midnight.

I enjoyed seeing the whole family yesterday and today and introducing Mary Beth to her family. I met my cousin, Deirdre's fiance/husband Eero (pronounced arrow) for the first time. He is from Finland and came to America on a hockey scholarship. I enjoyed learning a few Finnish phrases. Eero's mother was very impressed by my pronounciations! Eero's sister is a pop star from Finland. Apparently she is pretty famous. I was particularly happy to see my cousin who has two children the same age as Thomas and Mary Beth. We had lots of funny similarities!

Matthew and Thomas are having a great time with their grandparents. Matthew has lost two more teeth since I left him on Wednesday!! I hope I still recognize him! They have been "body surfing" on the Lake Conroe. Maybe it is better that I wasn't there!

We leave at seven in the morning to catch our ferry to Connecticut. From there, we are heading to Newport, RI then on to the Cape.

Thanks for all of your well wishes for my reading today. I will post pictures as soon as I can!
