we made it!

we're heeeere! i'm sitting next to lori right this very minute. we've had a great evening. her kids are delightful and her husband is just how i remember him. ethan has done well, despite the crazy, flexible day we've had. he slept the entire time we were in the air, and he loved watching as we took off and landed. it was precious to see his fat little hand beating on the airplane window. we got off the plane and rode a train to the baggage area, and there was lori with her hot pink sign waiting to greet us!!! i saw it the second the elevator doors opened. (we'll post pictures of that later.) it was so wonderful to see her, and she really does look the same, though she is arguing with me right at this moment about that... i agree i still look 12, but that's pretty hard to argue with. anyway, we're really really tired, so i'll write more tomorrow.
