We Made It!

Well we made it to America safely! I would have to say the trip was not too bad. We have to take three planes to get home which Kayleigh and Zeb describe as the Mommy plane, the Daddy plane, and the baby plane. We take the Mommy plane to Korea. As expected, they did not sleep at all on this flight even though it was in the middle of the night to their bodies. They were just way to excited to do any sleeping. Once we landed in Korea we all crashed in a transit hotel room for about 3 hours then on to the Daddy plane. One would expect that on a 12 hour flight that your children would sleep but oh no not mine. Kayleigh slept a total of 45 minutes to an hour and Zeb a total of 0 hours. Yes, that is not a typo he slept none! He did however, watch Toy Story 3 at least 6 times maybe more. I would not normally condone that much watching but since he was happy and not screaming I was fine with it. You are basically in survival mode when you travel with young kids for that long of a time period. When we landed in Atlanta Zeb did what I expected and began to have meltdowns about every little thing under the sun. To make matters worse our flight to Greensboro was over booked and some how I had a seat on the plane but not John or the kids. So we started to pray that someone would take the $300 voucher and a later flight and let this poor exhausted family on the plane. God answered our prayers and we were all able to fly together on the baby plane! We were on the baby plane about 5 minutes and then Zeb was out. His body had finally given up. The unfortunate thing was when we landed in Greensboro he did not remember riding the baby plane and therefore had a melt down because he wanted to ride the baby plane! Once we got back to John's parents house they got their second wind and this it what they looked like:






Do you think he is just a little loopy?


This is what they looked like this morning when they woke up. A little less energy than the night before!

The start of our vacation




Zeb is sitting on a chair at the gate waiting to board the plane to Thailand. We had so much fun trying to get him to say crazy things.

We Made It!!

Three planes and around 29 hours later we are finally on American soil. We were greeted by both sets of our parents and most of our siblings. It was wonderful to see everybody. The kids did really well on the plane. Kayleigh watched more videos than she has in her entire life and Zeb kept us all busy. After taking several short naps on the plane for the first 7 hours of our 13 hour flight, exhaustion won over and he slept the last 5 hours of the flight! Praise the Lord! We are hoping for a low key week although this weekend John's brother Henry is getting married. Zeb has already decided to learn to drive a car however he can only go in reverse at the moment. He hasn't gotten down the forward movement yet.

Airport Museum

Today we had a great time at the airport museum here in Chiang Mai with our friends Julianna, Lydia, Wendy Jane, and Vera. As you know, Kayleigh loves planes and this is one of her favorite pastimes, to watch planes taking off and landing.


This is Kayleigh telling me that there was a big 747 taking off on the runway behind me.


This is the 747 that took off.

Waiting at the Gate

We were waiting to board the plane (which is in the background) and Kayleigh and her friend Cameron were running around the airport because they were as bored as we were! We are almost on our way to Thailand! Here are a few pics of Kayleigh and Cameron playing around at the gate.




Cameron causing trouble!
