We survived the trip to and from Delaware. it took us 24 hrs to get there,between delayed and cancelled flights due to weather all over the country we ended up going from SF to newark,to Cleveland to Philly. Yes!!! 24hrs. we coulda gone to China and back. The return trip was not so bad but we did sit on run ways waiting o be cleared for take off and landing in SF due to the misreable weather you all had here while we were gone.
We sepnt the week with Stan's sister and brother in law at their home in Wilmingtoon Delaware,it was beautiful weather but very cold. We hung out and chased the kids as not for them to get into everything that wasnt their's. It was hard work.
Sunday was race day and about 50 people or so were at the house for food drink and daytona 500. It was a fun and busy day,the kids had some other kids to play with that helped a bit. When things got too much,i took them upstairs to play and watch some tv. It was a tireing week but fun as usual.
Monday we went to visit the Sxhulte family as we do each year,they live not too far from Stan's sister and they are the family who we travelled with to get Laurel and they adopted their daughter from the same orphanage,its so fun to see the kids grow up.Their Savannah is sooooooooo quiet and plays so well alone where our laurel is such a live wire. Laurel is just one month older than Savannah. We also were able to see another mom and her daughter from China who actually travelled with some friends of ours almsot 4 yrs ago now as well. Her daughter Sara is the samwe age as Laurel.
Sara lange and her 2 daughters from Russia also were there,Sara is the gal who worked with the diff agencies and helped us get to laurel and then with a diff agency to get to Zakary. She is a wonderful fun gal,her husband very sweet and theuir daughters delightful. They are 10 and 12 if i recall correctly. We played and ordered philly cheese steak sandwhiches for dinner,as we folks from the west coast dont know about them and then played and visited some more till it was time to leave and get home to pack for the trip home.
We head out the next am and made it home late Tuesday night,all of us exhausted and now sick.
