We're here!

We are in New York! We arrived late last night (well actually early this morning). Charlotte was pooped! She was pretty good on the airplane. The first flight she slept most of the way, waking up as we were landing and proceeded to scream her head off until we got off the plane. The lady sitting next to me must have felt bad for me and carried my bag off the plane for me! Our flight out of Las Vegas was delayed an hour and Charlotte stayed awake the whole time. Once we got on the longer flight to New York, she started screaming again. She was just so overtired. She quieted down pretty quick and shut her eyes but every time the flight attendants or the pilot would come over the intercom she would jump and wake up. No one wanted to sit with us and then two boys came and sat down, ages 12 and 15. The first thing that went through my mind was "oh great, I've got my boob hanging out and I have teenagers sitting next to me!". They were super nice though and when Charlotte started squawking they said "It's ok, we don't mind we have a little sister who is a year and a half, so we're used to it!" They were so nice and when Charlotte woke up after a two hour nap and was all smiley they were tickling her and playing peek-a-boo. We finally got home around 1am and as soon as I put Charlotte down her eyes shut and she fell right asleep! I talked to Chris who was still at home. He kept complaining about how lonely and quiet the house was. Welcome to my world!!! 

This morning we went to see Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. Great Gram was working in the garden when we showed up and we surprised her! She was a little dirty but Charlotte didn't seem to mind!We also got to see Baylie!!! She has been staying with Grandma and Grandpa so that I could fly home with Charlotte by myself! We missed her!
Charlotte and Baylie quickly re-bonded and are the best of friends!
Mimi and Great Gram are so silly! They were trying to teach Charlotte to blow kisses!
Charlotte thinks Great Gram is nuts... telling her to ride a bicycle and playing "This Little Piggy!"
As happy as she was to see everyone, her fingers still are her favorite!
Grandpa came downstairs and was so happy to see Charlotte! Grandma said he smiled more this morning than he has all year!
We then went up to the Farmer's Market before coming home for a nap! Hopefully Charlotte will adjust to the time change quickly! Now all were waiting for is an afternoon thunderstorm!
