home sweet home

We made it home. Pretty uneventful flight...well, except for Andrew NOT wanting to fall asleep in my arms. I knew this would happen. He was SO tired and would not go to sleep. Our flight was packed and the seat next to me was full. I was bummed. They put people on our flight b/c Pres. Bush was flying in and they shut down the airport for that...or so I was told. So they added people from the next flight to our flight. Anyway, Andrew definitely had his moments, but people were still very friendly and said how good he was. Of course my comment to them was... you must have been asleep and sitting in the back! :) So now we are home and Matt hasn't left Andrew's side!!

Hey Shandra -
When I see these pictures of you, Matt & Andrew I am instantly taken back to the "courtship" days. When Matt - never give up bachelorhood - Landrum was the topic of many of our conversations. :)
I love you both so much and it thrills me to hear you affirm each other & be affirmed by others in your parenting skills...there is no other task more noble & don't let anyone ever make you believe otherwise.
Love to your sweet family -
kathy nelson

MRS KATHY!! How fun to hear from you!! :) Oh my, do I EVER remember the days of talking to you about Matt...and shedding a few tears. You were so sweet to always listen and gave great advice!! Who would have thought after all those years that we would have gotten back together and he would ACTUALLY make a commitment!! He was definitely worth waiting on!! :)

Shandra said...

second...i couldn't think of movies so i had to look and see what i had. i don't like dumb stupid movies like dodgeball. that's STUPID!!!

i think you're stupid b/c "dumb" and "stupid" are the only words you know how to say!

lol

First...Shandra...when you are wanting to say YOU ARE, it's you're not your! :) (Can you tell the writing TAKS test is in 2 weeks??!!!!)
Second, Jill...Shandra said that was stupid, not YOU! As I tell my 4th graders, you can think something is stupid, but we don't say it. And we NEVER call SOMEONE stupid.
Of course, when the 4th grade teachers are talking, we call students stupid...so Jill...carry on! HA!
Shandra...why the address? Are you going to send me pills to get through the next few weeks? Pics of Andrew would do as well! I need something to make me smile...these 4th graders aren't doing it. So please post a pic of Andrew smiling...for me! :)

Shandra said...

jill...you're just jealous b/c I don't like your DUMB movie!! :P you are sleeping on the floor when you get here!!

Shandra said...

carrie..i know freak...i taught grammar...where did i write your instead of you're...i don't see it. it's a habit i guess b/c i've done it more than once. sometimes when i type i'm doing 10 other things besides thinking of my spelling....like making a meal for a friend who just had triplets, doing wash, unpacking my stuff b/c andrew is done, and cleaning the house. i've had a busy day. i still need to take this meal and a shower would be nice at some point!!! also...don't be getting on here telling me how my blog needs to be run!!!...GET YOUR OWN BLOG!!!

Shandra said...
