Alive, but barely.

So we had a fantastic time in NY, and while the sub-zero temperatures did not kill us, the trip home almost did. On the return trip alone we had missed two flights due to weather/mechanical delays and another flight was cancelled completely - we also had an extra stop in Vegas, which turned into an unexpected overnight stay. As we were standing in line just before midnight at the casino/hotel waiting to check in, surrounded by ringing, flashing slot machines Matilda seemed hypnotized by the activity. After a few minutes, M declared she wanted to go to a "regular hotel." I guess she, like her parents, is not the biggest fan of Las Vegas. 

We are getting readjusted with all the jetlag, bags unpacked (they arrived 12 short hours after we did), some 1,000 odd photos and videos downloaded, and the kitchen restocked with non-vacation type foods like salads and fruit. We all indulged a bit too much in NY and are severely missing G-pop's fabulous breakfasts - this morning after her first bowl of cereal Matilda asked for some eggs and bacon.
