Our trip home was a little close for comfort. (see previous post for vacation pix and detes) The night before we were to leave we learned that there were only two seats available, and there wouldn't be enough seats until the following day. We went to bed and hoped for the best. Luckily the coolest pilot in the world informed us early the next morning that a third seat had opened up. So we went to the airport hoping that no one else would be bumped onto that flight, and we were in luck...we got the last three seats.
We were sad to say good-bye to Dad and Arlette but are so looking forward to seeing them in November when they come out to Utah.
It's always good to be home but hard to come back from vacation. Andrew hit the ground running and went to work that night. The week went by so fast. We had a few walk-throughs which seemed optimistic and very interested but haven't heard back from them, so the real estate game continues.
Saturday we enjoyed good company at a neighborhood/HOA BBQ and later a birthday party for Lily's little friend who is also our close neighbor. The girls had SUCH a good time, the wonderful family who put on the party outdid themselves with making sure it was a fun time for all. I think the highlight was the pinata with scads of candy. As Lily walked toward me with a bag full of goodies she said, "Look! I got candy! Now I can go home." (Such good party etiquette)

So glad you had such a good time. It is always hard for me to get back into the swing of things when we come back from vacation, especially when James is asking if we can go to grandma's house. Retail therapy always helps, of course. :) Thanks for sending the recipe...can't wait to try it out.
Glad you had a trip and a good return. I've flown stand-by many times now (Royce's dad works for American) and we've had some pretty frustrating airport visits. It's nice to save the money, but I'm not sure the stress levels are so healthy!
"I got candy...now I can go home..." Ha! Lily and Lucy would be BUDDIES if they were closer!
