Lil's fever broke in the night! Yay!
And now she is snuggled in bed, sleeping in late, with her daddy. Awwwww.
Whew!
So we left off with Josh jinxing us, saying we should just reschedule our flight for the next day again. We were getting ready to load up the car to take us to the airport, when we checked our flight status one more time... only to find that our flight was now delayed from 11:20 until 1:00. With the intention of keeping Beth and the boys out of the weather we asked Josh to take us to the airport before he had to head in to work at 1:00. So we got to the airport just before noon and found a place to camp out.
Then we were delayed until 1:30.
Then we were delayed until 2:00.
Then we were delayed until 3:00.
We started boarding about 3:30 and made our way over to Dallas. Arriving at 4:35, we had already missed our connecting flight at 2:35. So the agent we spoke to re-booked us on the 4:30 flight that was delayed until 5:30 (but really didn't take off until 6:30). With all the melee, I couldn't resist adding to the fun by asking the agent if the flight was full, and if there was any possibility of taking the infant seat on board with us. She took my boarding pass and sent me away to get something to eat while she worked on it.
Sure enough, by some grace or magic, she was able to get the seat next to mine open! Getting on the plane was a little tricky; me and the baby, and our carry-on, and the backpack, and the infant seat. But once we got settled, I sat Lele in her seat and strapped her in and the blessed child fell right to sleep... and slept. She slept from before take off until I moved her seat to de-board the plane at 9:45! I have never been so comfortable on a flight! I put the backpack under the seat in front of Lil so I had plenty of room for my feet. Heck I could even cross my legs. And with out having to juggle the kiddo the whole time I was able to even close my eyes and take a little nap.
Anyway, once in Raleigh, we made our way to the meeting place for the park and ride, got to our car and drove home without any other excitement.
Whew!

Try Again
So here we are, attempting to make our way back to NC for the second day. We have checked in to our flight online and are watching and waiting to see what flights are being cancelled. The first flight out of Lawton was cancelled before I woke up and the 9:20 flight was just cancelled a few minutes ago. Our flight is supposed to be at 11:15 so we'll see.
Josh has already told us to just reschedule our flights for tomorrow... the jinx!
Attacked by the Weather
So you heard about the freak snow that hit NC the day Lily and I left to visit the Walters? Well today, as we are supposed to be headed back home, Oklahoma is having severe snow/ice. Three of the five flights out of Lawton have been canceled for today.
Will we make it home? Stay tuned for tomorrow's installment....
Attacked by the Weather... Part II
Josh had a "snow" day today. Ft. Sill was closed and so he was kind enough to load Lily and I up in the car and attempt to take us to the Lawton Airport. Not even a quarter of the way there my cell phone jingled (I had signed up for text updates) our flight had been cancelled. So we turned back around, rescheduled our flight for tomorrow and are now chilling for another night here with the Walters.
And tomorrow? Who knows....

Lily and Deacon
When we found out I was going to have a girl, Beth and I decided she and Deacon would be a nice pair. Good family, similar backgrounds, etc. We even road tested her name to make sure it wasn't anything crazy-like when matched with Walter. (yes, we're a little bit weird)
Maybe we should have considered what the kids thought?
...naaaahhh!

New Dance Moves
Okay so I know this video is a little longer than I usually post, so I'll save the random pictures for tomorrow. :) Lily cracked us all up last night (after we watched WALL-E) with her new dance moves. I'm pretty sure she made them up all by herself....
