We're back

After a week away, we're 'back home againnn in Washingtonnn'. (I guess that probably makes more sense if you know the "Back Home Again in Indiana" song... of course, it also might make more sense if we actually lived in Indiana too.) =)

Anyway, Adam had a conference in Florida last week, so Addy and I decided to go and see Grandpa and Grandma Johnston in Pueblo during that time. This actually worked perfectly, as Jackie (one of my best friends from childhood) had just had a baby the week before, so we got to love on little Baby Brandon too while we were home. We also got to see quite a bit of family as some members of the Johnston side were in town for a get-together as well. We had so much fun!

With only minor scrapes at the airport (and really nothing to complain about at all), we all arrived at our destinations and then, back home again complete. Adam had been able to go through security with us in Seattle, as our planes departed at about the same time (which was super cool), but in Denver, Addy and I learned how to go through security with each just other, a car seat, a stroller that had to be folded and put through the X-ray , a diaper bag, shoes and belt (that both had to be taken off), gels and liquids (in their plastic bag), etc. Addy even charmed the gate agent into letting us use her car seat (in an empty seat on the plane) on the ride home - which made the trip better for both of us. Adam made his 30 minute connection in Houston on the way to his conference and then found out that it is possible to fly without a photo id on the way home after losing his wallet somewhere in Orlando. Then he had to wait for Addy and me an extra couple hours at the airport, as our plane was delayed by that much. However, we were just thankful that after the United decision to cancel several flights while we were away, we still had a plane to get on! We arrived home with an excited-to-see-Dad Addy and of course an-excited-to-see-each-other hubby and wife too. After some good sleep on all our parts, we're now officially home and back into the swing of things. So, all-in-all, I'd say it was a successful trip for all of us. We all had fun while we were away! And now we're home. =)

I'll post more pictures of our adventures in the coming days on Addy's blog. (Oh, and something super exciting that came from the comfort of home - Addy's pacifier is no more! We had heard that taking it away after a trip was a good time to do it, so we did - and (fingers crossed that this continues) with only a little crying the first couple naps and the first night. I never knew how exciting something like this could be... but I'm sure that there are other Moms out there that understand!).

Anyway, now that the computer is back to normal and we're back to normal, I hope that blog posts will be back on a normal schedule too. We'll see. =) So, until next time...
