Just get me home

That was the thought going through my head as I was trying to come home last week. The midwest has seen lots and lots of rain during the last week, and one of the things that always affects is air travel. My flight in Minneapolis was delayed four hours. They eventually got us up in the air. Once we got to Chicago, we circled and circled till we ran out of fuel. So, down to Milwaukee. There they gave us the option of getting off the plane. I almost thought of doing that and driving four hours home. But I decided to stick it out. Two hours later, we took off again, this time to land safely in Chicago. I fly out again tomorrow. This time to sunny Florida. Fun stuff.

Here's a little bit of learned behavior. The comforter below was rumpled, and the pillows were on the chair. Priya decided that the bed needed to be made, and you can see the result.


Armaan is coming along just fine. Yesterday as he was taking a shower with me, I was thinking about how solid he feels. It's hard to feel a bone on him. Quite unlike Priya, who at this age was all length and no mass. We are trying to work through his preference of using one set of neck muscles more than the other. It's not quite torticollis, but we need to make sure it doesn't progress towards it. It's great to have a PT as a good friend!


These pictures are in memory of Great Grandma Reay who made the blanket and outfit. The first one is of Priya and then Armaan. Hmm.. is it apparent that one of them fills the outfit out a little bit more?!!


This is a cool new feature of Blogger - posting videos directly! I just noticed this. For those who blog, you know how awkward it was to first upload the videos, and then insert the links. Now it happens automatically. I like this! So here's the very first video of Armaan smiling. He's still getting the hang of it. The word that I think of when I see him smiling is "sweet." See for yourself.

Very very very sweet. And you never know- you might even get some video footage out of me now....although my new camera does not have sound, only picture :(....and I broke the old one so can't even just use it for video footage.

How adorable! You guys sure are blessed with beautiful children.

Sorry to hear about all of the delays...it took me 2 1/2 hours to get home from work last Friday, due to the flooding and closed roads leading to Route 30!!!
