We're finally "home"!!!

And by home, I mean KC. We've only been gone a few months, but I think we'll always call it home. It's where most of our friends and family are, where I'm from, and where we met and started our lives together.

So after almost 18 HOURS, 3 delays, and a 60 degree drop in temperature we finally arrived in KC on Tuesday. Lydia actually did very well considering the amount of time we spent on planes and in airports and taking into account she is only two (for a couple more months!) We left Honolulu late Monday night and arrived in KC on Tuesday evening. Hats off to whoever thought enough to put a play area in the Salt Lake City airport. I know it must have been a mom!!! It provided some much needed energy release.

We entered the airport with 75 degree weather and exited with 15 degree weather. My poor munchkin is so confused by it all. When she first felt the cold chill, she said "Mommy, I'm hot!" I guess last winter is a long distance memory in her short life. And of course when she saw the snow on the hill, she thought it was sand. But she has adjusted well to the cold. She's enjoying the snow and especially the new Dora snow boots that Mom bought!

We've been enjoying seeing family and a few friends and look forward to seeing more. We'll be here until mid-February so there will be lots of time for visiting! I'll try to post pics soon. I'm used to my laptop with the built in card reader. But I'm at my dad's on the OLD PC. At least I got him started on internet!!!

Merry Christmas to anyone who stumbles across this! Have a great holiday and enjoy every memory making opportunity with those you love!
