Home Sweet Home

We made it! After 24 straight hours of travel we are back in our cozy little house. Lee did amazingly well on the flights. He slept through most of the first 4 hour leg then we were able to keep him happy enough on the 14 hour leg where he didn't scream once until we landed in Seattle. He then proceeded to lose his shit as we taxied to our gate. Not bad. We are trying to get back to normal sleep pattern and it's going marginally. Luckily Tommy's mom who has been taking phenomenal care of Jacques, Cleo, the chickens and our house while we were away was around to feed us and ease us back into our world a bit. 

We had an amazing trip. I had a lot of apprehensions going into it, mostly about the baby. What if he doesn't sleep, what if he gets sick, what if he...?! None of it happened and if it did we could have managed it. I'm glad we did the trip despite knowing all the what ifs and we had a great time. I learned a lot about traveling with a baby! I had some successes like packing the perfect amount of diapers. Only had 4 left over. Pack light and be portable, it always pays off(and no I didn't need more then 2 pairs of shoes). Toms are the best travel shoe for anyplace warm. I wore them all over Kenya and all over India. They pack small, are comfy and surprisingly tough. Always bring two hats for the baby. Ask the locals. People are more then happy to help but can't do a thing if you don't ask. Always eat at the kinda sketchy restaurant. There's a reason it's busy. And be curious. 

Lee smuggled back a meat tooth and meat tooth 2.0! Customs didn't even check. I think he grew a little too. Ok, time to take a nap. Thanks for joining us on the adventure! 

Back surrounded by his toys! 

We bought this awesome brass slide bolt as our souvenir. It's called a Kerala lock and was on a lot of the old buildings we saw. We found one at a hardware store and needed it. Now we just need a place to put it!
