Okay - you know it is bad when someone you didn't even know read your blog comes up to you at Church and tells you it is time to update your blog.... thanks Michelle...I guess I needed some extra motivation. To be honest, I feel like I am still recovering from my jaunt back east. I flew to Pittsburgh with Sadie and Ella for 8 days..where we drove back home ( Canada = home) for my cousins wedding. Sadie should be ban from all aircraft. The girl never slept a wink on either flight of apx. 5 hours!!!!!!! Kill me!!! I know it could have been worse, she didn't cry the whole time or anything...it was just hard to keep her happy...in such a small place...without constantly slamming the poor people's seat in front of us...etc.. I even tried drugging her for the flight home, because I really thought I might have a nervous breakdown if she wouldn't sleep again. Well, instead or drowsiness, Sadie experienced "combativeness:, a rare side effect. She hit, slapped and even bite me....THE WHOLE TIME.......it was horrible.
I know the Lord was mindful of me, because I kept it together and was able to keep her quiet most of the time. A sweet lady a row across from us stopped me in the bathroom after the flight to tell me she thought I was a good Mom... how sweet!...she quickly followed that up with a .."Now, go find Daddy!"
Amen sister!!!!
SO, ...here are the top things I miss most about home..in no particular order: Family ( you know who you are!) , Real Chinese Food....( sorry American Chinese people....you DO NOT have it going on!) Harveys hamburgers( yum!), east coast Pizza.....the real thing baby!.....changing leaves, ( I thoroughly annoyed my sister by pointing out all of the fall colors!) Polite drivers ( I am sorry but AZ drivers are the worst!)...and candy. ( the candy here STINKS!)
Over all the trip was as success...it was tough with Sadie...she didn't adjust well, sleep well, etc. I wore everyone out with my craziness....But it was great to see so much extended family..and show off pics of my "GIGANTIC" family. ( their words, not mine!) :) :) :)
I would never turn down time with my sisters...can't beat it!
I got to see my Grandma too...aka Great grandma around here....that is always a treat..she is getting up there...I think she said 86. If I overshot..she doesn't have a a computer, so it's all good!!
I will post pics....I need to post about so many things that have happened in our family...yikes~~~

Great! How nice that you got to go home and visit your fam! But that plane ride sounds pretty horrid... I've had an awful experience too. I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER ride in a plane again until the kids are older. We got a red eye flight thinking they would sleep, but of course they didn't and they pretty much wailed during the entire last leg of the flight. We had a layover in Vegas of all places at 3 am and they were all wide awake. I don't think I've ever been more miserable in my life. Oh yeah, and we only got 3 plane tickets, so all 5 of us were crammed in 3 seats. Now, I say if anyone wants to see us, they need to come here cause I'll NEVER do that again!
always glad to help! whatever... i just love your family and blogging is the BEST way for me to feel connected to people i like! ;) you did great though!
