Hello,
Leroy and I arrived in DC yesterday
afternoon. Our first plane was at least ten-fifteen minutes late. We were
sitting in the last row so almost no one was on the plane when we got off. Our
bags had been plane sided and not up to the jet way when we exited. Leroy suggested
that I go find out the next gate in Chicago and he would wait for the bags. I
did that and learned from the kind desk attendant that it was a five minute
walk away. We knew that our next plane was already scheduled to be boarding so
we did not waste time loitering before moving on to the next spot. I only
stopped once to be sure that I remembered correctly the gate this woman had
told me. I can tell you that either the Bradways have slowed down, pulling bags
restricts movement, or that woman race walks because we took longer than five
minutes even at a brisk pace. It was not a problem because they had not
finished boarding even though no one was in line when we came to the gate.
After we once again reacquainted
ourselves with the DC metro, called Sarah for confirmation that we were indeed
going in the proper direction, found the key, left our bags, and relaxed a
little, we headed off to Lexi’s preschool. I hoped she would be happy to see
us. I also worry a little about the kids remembering who we are. Checking in
and heading up to her room we spotted her in the circle on the floor. When she
saw us she smiled, got up, came over, and started out the door to go home. She did
indeed seem pleased to see us. We enjoyed the walk home with the spotting of
several different types of mushrooms or fungi.
The new baby still has not arrived,
but they will induce on Thursday so we hope that does the trick. At least we
are now here and can be with Lexi while this happens. For sure we are hoping
this baby is not as late as all mine were. The closest to the due date was only
nine days past that. It seemed like an eternity then, but now I wonder why it
was a deal as it seems like a small thing in life.
