You bring back good memories of my last Salt Lick sandwhich, which (since I was running late) I ate on the plane. I had to ask the stewardess for a spoon so I could eat my "Amy's" hot fudge chocolate sundae, and she refused b/c my sandwich smelled so good and I didn't share! In fact, I think four or five rows of passengers complained because the whole plane smelled like BBQ (c; That's a great pic of Graeme... look at the contrast... Beth's dancing with Hope looking cool as a cucumber, and Graeme looks just plain awkward -- like he was heading to the lab and suddenly found this baby strapped to him! We'll have to work on that. Maybe the fancy suit will help. (as opposed to "HELP" with poop going everywhere). I love it. Can't wait to visit. Wish we could overlap sometime.<BR/>-ErikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22899348.post-35270636568720125762007-09-10T16:30:00.000-04:002007-09-10T16:30:00.000-04:00Welcome home Karen!Lady on the plane... she just s...Welcome home Karen!<BR/><BR/>Lady on the plane... she just sucked.<BR/><BR/>Love the Chinese bum pat.

I have no idea why it's called the Chinese bum pat but essentially you just kind of thump the bum while they are in your arms at regular intervals and it almost always puts them to sleep. It' like a back pat - as a hearbeat, but on the bum instead. A Boppie is a brand name for a style of breastfeeding pillow.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716192469666793842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22899348.post-71225265457630947052007-09-10T13:45:00.000-04:002007-09-10T13:45:00.000-04:00Sounds like you had an incredible time.

They always get this wicked air too -- hot and humid thunderstorms, turbulence, etc. Nasty holding pen too -- perpetually under construction and always a delay.<BR/><BR/>Glad you are back safe and sound!<BR/>JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
