arrived safely, but late, in philly
we're in philly after a long day of traveling and waiting. we're so thankful that Caleb did great for both legs of the flight. the bad news was that our 7am flight from Chatty was delayed due to weather and whatnot, so we had to wait a while to get the Memphis, and then of course we missed the connecting flight, so we had to wait something like 4 hours in the Memphis airport to catch the next plan to Philly. it actually went by rather quickly, and Michelle talked them into giving us food vouchers, so free food always helps matters.
again, we're so thankful that Caleb did great. thanks to everyone for their prayers. his ears didnt bother him and he was generally happy the whole time. he ate relatively well, and caught naps when he could. even though from door to door it took about the same time as it would if we drove (without the baby at least), we're glad we flew. Caleb did his best to charm all the folks in the rows behind us, smiling and giggling more often than not. he definitely gained a few members of his fan club.
the meeting of all the cousins was a lot of fun too. many pictures and videos were taken, so we'll post them soon. it should be fun to see these kids interact this weekend, and Casey definitely enjoys her only cousin.
wedding festivities start tomorrow. should be a crazy fun time.

So glad Caleb did well. You were all in my prayers! Too bad for the delays. That's when a cell phone sure comes in handy. Hope all worked out well with being picked up by the family. Can't wait to see pictures. - Mom
See if you can get a set of wings from the attendants for his first flight mememto. Not sure they still have those giveaways anymore.

Oh I dislike the Memphis Airport!! But I'm glad you had a good flight. Never had the pleasure to take Josiah while that little.
we got wings for him on the way back...thanks for the suggestion.
and the memphis airport wasnt all that bad. of course we didnt deal with ticketing or baggage or security. but the terminals were clean and the background music was nice (classical), although the CNN on the TVs everywhere was too loud. but overall, I cant complain about the memphis airport.
