**Forgot to mention the two blessings we had on the flight over...seems I was so exhausted and tired last night that I was only focusing on how hard the flight was. I'm working on trying to stay positive in all situations! Anyway, when we checked in our bags at Gatwick, a VERY nice man asked us if we knew we didn't have a seat for Bailey. Yes, we knew, and we were saving money so she was going to sit with us. Anyway, he said that the bulk head seats were empty so he moved us up and gave us a seat for Bailey! Praise Him! We had a row of 5 seats- one man sat on the end and I'm sure he was hating that, but oh well. So we had a seat for Bailey- not that she used it, she was too busy. And the other blessing was a very sweet flight attendant who we got to know from our walks to the back of the plane really took to Bailey and said to me, "You look exhausted honey, you just go sit down and I'll take Bailey for a walk around the plane." Bless you sweet lady whoever you are!!! I was so tired I didn't care that a perfect stranger was walking my child up to first class and back. I figured they couldn't go anywhere with her.
Thank you to those who were praying for us!
Is it just me or did I just forget how wide the roads are here??? And not to mention the SUV's everywhere!
Anyway, we arrived in Dallas tonight...exhausted. Our flight was LONG but we survived. Cerys did just great and entertained herself quite well...then there was Bailey. 17 months is NOT a good age to fly anywhere...especially not for 10 hours. We did a lot of walking and talking to strangers. She slept a total of 40 minutes the entire time. Yep, only 40 minutes out of 600 minutes. Not cool.
And, one thing I did not blog about before was that we surprised my mom by showing up a day early. She thought we were arriving tomorrow (Thursday)- so it was quite fun to ring her door bell and see the look on her face as we stood there with all our luggage and weary looks on our faces. But it was worth it. :)
Big D- here we come!

Welcome home! Wish I could see you, but I understand the time factor. Have fun!
Welcome back!! Yes, isn't it odd how "home" can feel so unfamiliar?? (roads, suv's, etc). I know you're busy, but me and S'bucks are available to hang out sometime if you so desire! ;o)
So glad you made it to the States safe and sound. You were in my prayers yesterday. And how fun to surprise your mom like that! =) Enjoy your time with family and friends!!
yeah you made it. i mailed your package yesterday so you should get it by the end of the week i would think, right?
hope you enjoy it and have a great time
Welcome back to Texas! You are right about the SUV's! That was cool of the Airline to give you and extra seat and the FA for helping you out. Hope you all have a good visit. Hope to see you all at church!
Hey guys,
Have a fab time over there! Enjoy the malls and the food (you've worked hard enough in Legs Bums and Tums!) Say Hello to Sandy for me - I hope you packed Welsh cakes for your mum and Jaffa's for Beverly or you might be sent back a bit sooner! Speak soon,
Del & Co xxx
So glad you made it home and surprised your mom!! Woo Hoo.
Well I am bummed I have to wait a whole other week before seeing you guys at church...but hope you enjoy every minute of your stay..I am sure you will.
Oh and don't forget..Charity..if you wanna make the Sam's trip..call me.
Hooray! So glad you made it! It's not fun, but it's worth it. Have a super time and tell texas hello for us. :)
Welcome back to Texas! How long will you be around? Hopefully we'll get to see you while you're here...
Yeah for free seats!! And on an international flight, too!! That whole flying thing (cost and distance) is what keeps us from visiting Joel's parents. That's NOT a trip I want to make with 3 little ones, yet.
Enjoy your time!
The Lord is so faithful to provide our every need. How cool was it the man put you guys in the bulk head seats. Fun surprising you Mom a day early. I bet it's warmer in TX than the UK
