We made it! We took the 9 1/2 hour flight from Frankfurt to Charlotte and then the hour flight from Charlotte to Atlanta on Friday. It actually went very smoothly! We were worried, not only because we had an 8 month old with us, but we also had a thousand bags we had to lug through the airport. Brendan's teammate helped us get the bags to the first counter in Germany and then a very nice lady in the Charlotte airport helped us get our bags to the second check-in there. She was a LIFESAVER!
Nathan was absolutely perfect through the whole flight. He took his naps right on cue and never cried! It was so funny because Brendan would walk up and down the aisles with him and he would get so excited whenever he saw people. He would start swinging his arms and legs! Everyone he walked by would "dab him up", as Brendan would say. It was pretty darn cute!
We were exhausted by the time we reached Atlanta, but we perked right up when we saw Brendan's parents and brothers (they picked us up in the Suburban...we had to have a big car to get all of our junk in it). They were so excited to see Nathan!
On Saturday night, Brendan's grandmother hosted a "Welcome Home" party for us. We had a BALL!! We had BBQ from Sticky Fingers (YUM!) and everybody played football and Croquet. They even had the house decorated with American colors and balloons!! It was perfect. We are so lucky to have such great families.
WE ARE SO GLAD TO BE HOME!!!!!!!
