Well, Nanny passed away on Friday afternoon. She was 90 years old, and pretty ill, not to mention her Alzheimers. We all got on a plane v. early Saturday morning, expecting to land in Birmingham at 8:05 am (central). Instead we landed in Jackson, MS, at 8:35 and sat there for a few hours while we waited for the fog to lift in B'ham. They let us off the plane and most of the people hopped on a flight to Houston which is where our flight was headed after it stopped in B'ham. Henry got to walk around and we picked up a cheeseburger, and then the pilot got word that the weather had cleared. We finally arrived in Alabama at 12:00, then took the 2 hour drive to Timon's grandmother's town. The kids were better than anyone could reasonably expect, and we did enjoy some good time with Timon's cousins and aunt. Our flight was delayed over an hour last night coming home, and we made it to our house around midnight. Henry insisted he was NOT TIRED on the way home from the airport. Maria insisted on sleeping, just like a good little girl.
Tonight will be another long night - Timon gave me tickets to this for Christmas, and so the kids will spend the night with their surrogate grandparents. Go Huskies!

Glad you had some good family time, even if it was under sad circumstances.
Have fun at the game tonight!
So sorry about your Nanny. :(
Thank you so much for your helpful comment. That does give me the info I needed.
I'm so sorry for your loss. That is always hard.
I understand your frustration about flying. My flight coming home this morning was also delayed - I think I am going to boycott flying to Alabama for a while and make everyone come visit me. It was good to see you guys and hope things go well next weekend with the baptism.
love, amy
