We made it!

Well, we survived another transatlantic flight! We flew into London on Saturday (actually landed on Sunday) and then made the drive up to Leeds. Miss Ellie ended up with two full seats and slept almost the entire flight! Damian and I didn't sleep much at all, but Damian still managed to stay awake for the drive to Leeds (the snores coming from the passenger seat and the backseat didn't seem to bother him much).

We went straight to Peter and Sue's for a delicious Sunday lunch. Ellie was a bit sleepy and a little cranky, but she was still happy to see everyone. Thomas and Joseph have both changed so much! Joseph is a toddler now, not a baby, and Thomas is just a little man with lots to say!

The jet lag has been so much better this time (although Damian stayed up until 1:30 last night, so we'll see how his jet lag is doing later today)! Ellie slept for 14 hours the first night and 13 hours last night. It's the first time that she's slept later than both of us -- now if we could just make that a habit! ;-)

I'm so glad to hear that the flight went well and that jet lag is already going away! I hope the rest of your trip goes just a smoothly! I miss you already!
(PS- for some reason the links on my page didn't show that you had a new post, so I missed this at first!)

We know that you'll have a wonderful time in England and that Ellie's fan club will only keep growing. Maybe the cat food breath isn't so endearing but those smiles are dynamite. We hope that you are able to take lots of pictures.

So glad you made it! We got a fun package in the mail yesterday!!! Luke is wearing it to our playgroup Christmas party tomorrow. It is adorable. You are so sweet. It is still crazy that we can't meet up and we live 15 min from each other. Have a very Merry Christmas and get home safely!!
