Travelin' On

For the next 10 days, Mary Poppins is in a different physical location. Thanks to the Internet, my virtual location has remained unchanged. After braving 2 snowstorms yesterday, our flight safely landed last night (3 hours late) and we are enjoying a jolly holiday with relatives. The not so jolly part is that we're dealing with a 2 hour time difference. With 2 kids, that translates into a nightmare. Today I spent over 3 hours actively trying to get Duet to fall asleep for her afternoon nap. Unsuccessfully. If 3 hours of rocking, singing, back rubbing, and snuggling couldn't lull her to sleep, I don't know what legal method could have. Call me when they start making baby unisom. I'll so be on board.

You and me both!

I called you this afternoon... I couldn't remember when you were supposed to depart. Have fun!
I'm glad you all arrived safely.

Ok, so I left you a message the other day and apparently it didn't work. Go blogger! Wow, ok. Well as I originally said...I'm glad that you guys made it safe. I was worried about you and the storm. I thought for sure you would be stranded. How is spending time with the fam? I didn't call you because I didn't want to interupt your time there. I'm sorry about Duet not sleeping. Have you tried Benadryl? Another legal and safe trick haha. I hope it's getting better so you can enjoy your time with happy babies.
