Headed Home.

WHOO HOO we are HOME!

Yesterday we started our travel home. It was a bitter sweet kind of day. So glad to get home but sad to say goodbye to our friends.

We left the hotel this morning at 7am. What a sight to see. 6 suit cases, 3 wheel chairs, 2 car seats, backpacks, purses, 3 kids, 4 adults, 1 van. I should have taken a picture of that one!

We got right in to pay our taxes so that we could leave the country... yes... airport tax...you don't pay....you don't leave! When we got up to the counter to check in the attendant was looking a bit frazzled. They had our plane load from the tarmac... no jet bridge. She was trying to arrange a bus to get us to the plane. As she checked us all in she jabbered on the phone with ... well ...who know trying to figure it all out. In the end they where able to change the gate and get a jet bridge.... all for us! WOW!!

We loaded the plane early as they were trying to push us off the gate and the bridge to make room for another plane. It was raining but that didn't slow us down at all. Joey was very fussy the first 2 hours of the flight. I almost put a parachute on him and throw him off the plane. He finally ate breakfast and slept for the last hour

We arrived in Dallas almost and hour early. This gave us a 4 hour layover. We grabbed a bite to eat with Makenzie and Pam, then said our goodbyes and sat around waiting. Out flight left 30 minutes late, but still got us home on time.

Our second leg was about the same flying time. Joey did a repeat of the first flight. When we got off the plane, Daddy and Jack were waiting to greet us. It felt so nice to be in my husbands arms again. Joey had a HUGE smile on his face the whole ride home.

When we got home I went straight to bed while Joey and Daddy spent time together. Joey wasn't as tired as I was due to the 2 naps he took.

I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for all of the thoughts and prayers! This trip was amazing and will not soon be forgotten! Please keep praying for the new stem cells to bring much healing to Makenzie, Joey, Brock, and Gracie!
