Bye Bye Indiana!

I am now updating my blog from back in NH. It was a bit of a crazy end to a really wonderful week (more about that later) in Indiana. Betsy and her kids came to visit at my parent's house Saturday morning. Nora is 19 months and Atticus is around 23 months. (Sorry, Betsy I can't remember exactly). What I can remember though is that these 2 cuties are a handful! They are really sweet little kids, but boy do they like to run around. It's no doubt they keep Betsy & Paul in shape!
Below, Betsy holds Nora and Atticus:

Atticus & Nora chase Monet up on the couch where she calculates how to escape.
Below: Not too long after Betsy left, Elaine, Mike, & little Jack Mehlberg came to visit. Jack is 8 months old. He's a little heartbreaker with huge blue eyes. It was so good to see them.

So here's where the craziness starts. Sebastien and I said our goodbyes Sunday morning and my parents dropped us off at the airport. We made it fine to Detroit but our next flight to Manchester was cancelled about 30 minutes before we were suppose to board. They could only rebook me for the following day (Mon) at 5pm AND only if I went to Boston instead of Manchester. So I took it and then luckily Dan's dad helped me book a hotel room. Also, we had no luggage. So that was sure interesting. From the hotel, Sebastien and I had to take a $45 cab ride to get more formula because I wasn't sure if I could make it until we got home with what I had on me. (And of course we ended up just barely not needing it... go figure!) The hotel had a baby crib for us, so that was good since Sebastien can now roll over. And as luck would have it, he peed through the only warm outfit I had for him. I aired it out overnight and he wore it the next day!

Below: I'm very glad the hotel had a crib for us, although it does look like a mini prison.

Now we're home and adjusting to the normal life routine again. I miss Mom and Dad in South Bend, but at least we had a great week and got to see tons of family.

Oy! Being trapped in a hotel with a baby by yourself doesn't sound like fun!

Thanks for posting pictures of our visit. It was great seeing you and meeting Sebastien. He's a cutie! (And just wait...one of these days he's going to be running all over the place like my kids.)
