Xanthe & Xoe are now in California. They made it there safely and are with Chris for his college graduation tomorrow.
I have to say that this pregnancy must have made me extra emotional cuz I couldn't sleep all night and have been nervous for this for awhile. That is just so not like me. But I made myself be calm and I'm only admitting this to my invisible friend, "My Blog". :) The girls were really nervous too, but wanna know what made them feel better about it? We bought them new luggage. And because of that, they packed up and were asking to go two days early. That was really good for me because I thought there was going to be major meltdowns at the airport. They were very scared up until a few days ago. But who'da thought luggage would do the trick? I tell ya....PRETEENS.
Plus, we had a lot to do with it being their last day of school and trying to get to the airport terminal (every little thing that could stall us...did...like a little old lady crossing the street that was probably only 30 seconds but felt like 5 minutes, or all the escalators in a 3 mile radius to get us up to the ticketing counter weren't working, etc.) that they didn't have a lot of time to be scared. We got to the gate right as they were boarding. I think they were actually a bit excited when the flight attendant escorted them down the ramp and closed the door behind them for security reasons. They felt all special when I saw them waving to me. I think I was more emotional than them. I could feel myself choking up and everything. AND THAT'S SO NOT ME! Damn baby. :) Look what pregnancy does to the best of us.
Anyway, I haven't talked to them much...they have a lot of Chris & Kathleen's family in town, but I know they got there safely and they're settling in. Thank you to everyone who is going to watch them when Chris leaves for Utah. They are very excited to see everyone...and I'm being totally serious. They love all their cousins and I've told them this is their fun "Summer Vacation". I'm going to miss them though since they'll be gone the longest they've ever been away from me...4 weeks. I did, however, get to read a book out in my garden, take a nice nap and clean off my computer desk. Niiiice. I could possibly enjoy this...especially since Brian doesn't come home for another week. Pedicure anyone?

You're reading The Pilot's Wife! Good book.... What about Twilight?? Also, another good one I just read: A Thousand SPlendid Suns...
Do your girls have Disney passes? I would love to have them join Max & Ollie one Wednesday while they are visiting.
Please read Twilight. Seriously Christy YOU NEED TO. If we are to be friends it is madatory. Oh and I'm very jealous. How nice to be alone for a week. I would love it!!!
I am so excited to hang with them, Thanks for letting me play with them! And listen to Ruth she is so right you need to read Twilight then New Moon, then Eclipse... in that order.
For the twilight comments, I'm happy to start reading it, I just can't bring myself to buy them. I've bought so many pregnancy books that I just can't justify it. So if any of you get it to me I can start reading it. I just know I"ll get addicted to it like I do with so many other things. That's why I haven't yet.
And for Beth, the girls don't have Disney passes. They wish they did. They'd love to go. I wouldn't even mind buying them a one day pass but I know those with regular passes don't like to stay for too long and don't know if they would get worth out of it.
I talked to Ruthy about the girls coming over. We are planning a swimming and cookie baking afternoon! Have a fun week! PS Read twilight! I loved it!
Beth, that is going to be so fun. They are going to love it! Thank you! P.S. Ruthy has the schedule and next week they are with Chris on Wednesday but if you need to do it that Wednesday, he can let them go for the afternoon. Thank you thank you!
