quick update
We all (Me, Marc, the kid and two cats) made it to California. Marc’s trip, thanks in large part to Chuck, was the shortest duration to date.
Me and the kid attempted to fly out on Friday at noon. The flight was delayed due to a dead battery. We had to sit on the plane for 45 minutes before learning that we would have to de-plane, wait for an hour, find out that the battery could not be repaired, that they would have to fly in another battery – from ARIZONA?, and that the earliest the plane could take-off would be another 5 hours from then. So, I – as calmly as I could – demanded that my bags and car seat be released from the plane and sent to baggage claim so that I could take my pissed-off toddler home. An hour and a half later we were home. It was a terrible way to spend five hours, but, it could have been worse – I could have been the lady behind me on the plane who obviously had it really bad: “This is ridiculous! I got a drink at the bar before this flight and now – it has probably WORN OFF! This kind of thing ALWAYS happens to me!” (I did not make this up or exaggerate for comic effect. The situation reminded me of this. Seriously – why are we all such idiots?!!!)
I got us a ticket for the next morning (6am) and we tried again. Luckily we had banked so much karma that Saturday’s trip was pretty much a breeze.
So, we’re here. Woohoo!

Aimee, I don’t believe your toddler could ever be pissed off =)
OK – you’re right… but, how about UBER-fussy?
Just you wait – I’m hoping for another LHR meet-up and you will get to see a totally new non-baby, human for our kid! With all-new emotions, feelings & OPINIONS!
: )
Uh, mine is TWO. Wait until you see what all of that can entail. Maybe not at Owen’s party but surely at the anniversary party since he normally goes to bed around 7:30. I’m assuming you are brining H to it? He will seem like an angel.
