Lately......

So the kids and I have been in AZ since the 26th of April...... and what a day that was. We go to check our bags and the ticket agent tells us that our first flight is running a little late and that we might miss our connecting flight. She was nice enough to have a backup plan for our connecting flight and got us on another one that left almost an hour and a half than when we were supposed to get in. Our first flight changed many time. First it was 1:50pm......then 2:38pm...... then 3:08pm.........We finally boarded at 3:29pm. We were definitely missing our connecting flight! We get into Charlotte at 5:25pm (our original connecting flight left at 4:25pm). We rushed to the bathrooms and then RAN to our next gate. They had a hard time printing out tickets and we were the very last people to get on the plane. A lady was nice enough to move to a different seat so we could have a whole row to ourselves.

We FINALLY get into Phoenix around 7:38pm (we were supposed to get in at 5:59pm), met my dad down at baggage, and then stopped at Mc Donald's for some dinner. We were STARVING!!!! Thank goodness I packed a bajillion snacks so Ethan and Ryan wouldn't starve since we weren't able to get anything to eat when we were getting to our connecting flight. I finally got the kids to bed around 11:15pm AZ time (2:15am OH time) and Mr. Ethan was up at 2:48am AZ time (5:48am OH time, which is around the time he usually wakes up at home). Since we have been here we have hung out with family, spent some time with friends, and have helped out with some things around my sister's house. The kids have played outside lots and I have had fun visiting and doing makeovers on my sister Melanie!

We have talked with Stewart everyday, either on the phone or on Skype. We miss him so much! So far he has passed three classes and he has two left! Stewart is supposed to get in on the 12th and the kids and I are SOOOOO excited to see him!!!!!!

The weather has been nice and toasty compared to the rainy, cooler weather we have been experiencing in Cleveland. I am looking forward to going back to that!
