Making ourselves right at home

The kids were a dream on the flight. Abigail flirted with everyone she could see on the plane and entertained everyone out of her sight with her infectious giggles. Joseph was helpful and patient and quite independent--he even went to the restroom on the plane by himself.

Abigail looked a little confused when we arrived in St. Louis and I tried to tell her this was Grandma and Grandpa. But she gave them her generous smiles and waves anyway. However, she is quickly catching on--toys, treats, and Joseph's obvious adoration of my parents have convinced Abigail.  The morning after we arrived she was happy to climb into their bed (at 5:30 am) and give them hugs, giggles, and peek-a-boo.

Immediately, upon arrival, the kids dug into the toys have haven't surfaced yet.
