Travel, Arrival, and Always Lovely Jetlag

Three planes, four airports, and 18 hours in our journey brought three over-tired, cranky travelers to greet C. After shoving all eight pieces of luggage into the rented minvan, and took the "scenic" route home. N. was actually great on all flights, but not so great at the airports. It's hard to be patient everywhere all the time--for all of us.

We arrived to to the awesome apartment and proceeded to dump the contents of all suitcases out. The apartment went from empty and quiet to chaotic and loud. After Ikea tomorrow, I'll feel better with some rugs to halt the noise of racing cars and some furniture to store the cars and books and stuffed animals. Creating a home from scratch is exciting and time-consuming, but hopefully will go a long way to making us feel comfortable, relaxed, and less all over the place.
