Good-bye and Hello!

Sorry I haven't posted sooner. The kids and I did arrive safely yesterday in Oklahoma. Everything went really great at the airport and with the flights!

It was just yesterday that we were in Washington saying Good-bye to family and friends. How dearly they are already missed. It was very difficult saying Good-bye to Papa and Nana yesterday morning. I honestly can't wait until we are all in Heaven and we will live together and be eternally joyful. That there will be no more sadness or sorrow. To some extent it was nice that Jaycee and Jackson didn't really understand what was happening. I think that probably helped us all a little. Papa and Nana are 2 amazing people and that will be greatly missed by all of us.

Our wonderful friends Nate and Kate made the drive at 4:00 in the morning to the airport. The kids slept to the airport which was really nice. I wasn't sure how that would go. We got checked in fairly quick. Then off throuh the security check we went. We thought it was going to be quite the wait, but God's favor was shown when one of the workers said come this way please. We were escorted past 3 lines of people. We were so thankful. We all made it through security with no problems. Then we had a little breakfast. To get to the gate we took 3 different tram rides. I really wasn't sure that we were going right, but we finally made it to Concourse B. We still had plenty of time for the kids to stretch their legs and play.

Jaycee was so excited when we finally boarded the plane. I kept telling her that she was going to sit in her own seat with her own seatbelt. So when she got in her seat and fasten the seatbelt she was so pleased. She looked at me and said, Mom I ready to take off now! So I had to explain it would be a few minutes before we could actually do that! They both took little naps on the first plane ride. As soon as we got off in Denver we did quick diaper changes and grabbed a little bite to eat. Jackson took a nap on the second flight as well. The flight from Denver to OKC was relatively short. Jaycee loved looking out the window. As we began to get closer to Oklahoma, she asked me what's that mom? I told her it was Oklahoma. She said Mam Mam and PaPa. So as soon as the plane landed she said I ready to go to Mam Mam's house. So we got off the plane and when Jaycee saw my parents she took off running. Its really neat when they remember people. Jackson stayed close to me, but would give smiles.

We arrived home last night and my mom was turning on all the Christmas lights for Jaycee to see. Jaycee didn't really care at that point, she just asked my mom, "Where are your toys Mam Mam?" So needless to say, in 10 mins. it looked like a tornado had hit the house! We had toys everywhere. Both kids were so excited to be able to roam around free. Both slept really well.

This morning I had to go down to the rental house to have the Gas Company turn on the Gas. So mom stayed with the kids. Jackson had a few moments that he wasn't happy, but he did well. When I got back, Jaycee told me that Bubby wasn't happy with Mam Mam. It was really cute!

Update from Byron, they are probably somewhere in Arizona right now. Its been several hours since I talked to him, but they were in Barstow, CA then. So they are doing very well. Scooby and Zoe are doing great, too!
