Sweet Home Alabama

Well, I'm here.
The flight was fantastic; smooth, quick and I had two very well behaved boys.
I love the anticipation of walking through the airport to the awaiting family members on the other side of the frosted glass sliding doors. Will my son remember them? Will he try to hid behind my legs? (which is a really sad thought to know that my thighs can hide a 4 year old!) Will they have room in their car for 2 car seats, 3 suitcases, a backpack, a diaper bag and one giant purse - not to mention 3 extra people?
I think I was smiling even before I saw them. Ethan ran on ahead of me, straight into the arms of the first white-haired man he saw, which fortunately was Grampy. Phew! First 2 questions answered.
It sure is nice to be here. I feel quite relaxed already. It has only been 1 full day and I'm starting to miss Darrin. This potentially could be a long 2 weeks but hopefully it'll give him some down time, get his marks in, and get his exit paper completed for his masters degree. If you can, contact him by phone, email, or this blog to "encourage" him to get that paper done. It'll cost us another $800 if he doesn't have it done this summer and I've got shopping to do:-)
Anyhoo, just posting to check in. I'll keep up with you all.
Glad to be with my family but I wouldn't call it home. Calgary is now home. But it is sweet none the less. And it isn't Alabama.
Cheers!
