Gregory was in the hospital for a couple nights for testing. The kids and I got the flu a week before our flights to the States. Oh yes, and then there were all of the preparations to be away from home for almost seven months. What a month!
In the midst of that, we celebrated Gregory's 35th birthday. I barely pulled off baking a gluten-free peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake, just before collapsing with illness. It was delicious, but we threw almost half of it away because of the flu and flying. :(
Flights were much better than we could have imagined, thanks to in-flight entertainment, snacks, and lots of walks around the plane.
Neither kid slept on the eleven hour trans-atlantic flight, but that was no surprise. We ate at Chili's in the Chicago airport (chips and salsa!!!) and then passed the remaining 2-3 hours playing in their awesome play area.
Once we boarded our flight to Kansas City, Eva completely lost it, wailed for about five (very long) minutes, and then fell asleep. I was barely able to wake her to get her off the plane, and then she ran immediately into Grandpa and Grandma's arms (to their extreme delight)! Both kids slept the entire two hour drive to their home, and then began the long week of trying to adjust to the time change!
