Friday 5 September
I cleaned house getting ready for the kid to come.
Saturday 6 September
G & I went to get lattes, took the garbage to the dump, and then he came home to work in shop.
I cleaned the house from top to bottom again. A real spring cleaning in the fall. The only thing that looks horrible is the windows. Will have to call the window cleaners again. Why is it that the birds use that ONE window as target practice?
Afterwards, I still had enough strength to go biking. Not quite my regular 13 miles, but enough to make it count.
Tonight we washed the dog and after she came inside with wet paws, I had to Swiffer the floor again.
Hopefully, the baby comes on Sunday as I don't think that I can keep the house white glove clean any longer than that!
Sunday 7 September
We get up early to get lattes, then clean house some more. Elliptical gets transferred to the basement. More garbage gathering. We go to Wally-World to pick up some groceries. Then rest for a while. Leave at 3PM to go get kid. On the way, we stop to wash the truck & get Wendy's cheeseburgers for the dog.
Arriving at the AF Base around 4:30P, I checked hubby's cellphone to find out if he received any calls. Rachel had called at 3:16, but the vibrate was on and we did not know anybody had called. Calling Rachel back, we learn that K's flight is not due until 7:30!!!!!
So we drive around aimlessly as there is not a lot in Airway Heights. Took the dog for walks, got another Starbuck's latte, and waited. Hubby had a snack at Taco Time to prevent going hypoglycemic.
We finally amble over to the base around 7:20P Rachel & Kegley have us jump into their truck to meet the kid. Entering the base easily through security while riding with the Kegley's, we go to the flight deck and wait. and wait. and wait. and wait some more.
Around 8:30P a set of stairs is finally rolled up to the plane. We later learn that the stairs were called for while the flight was over 30 minutes from landing! Then they had to wait an additional 60 minutes for it to arrive! Not very efficient. Kegley's said that "somebody" is probably going to have their butt reamed!
A joyous reunion. But sad without the Matt-ster! Kegleys hug Kelsey a lot. They are glad she is here.
We stopped at Sonic on the way home for the kid's favorite hamburger. I walked the dog around for potty break.
Kelsey calls Matt in the UK to advise him that she arrived safely, after we listen to his message on the answering machine. He already sounds lonely.
While talking & catching up on news, we catch the last part of "Sin City".

The kid falls asleep - with her "oooh" face & her left hand raised...just like when she was a BABY!

Oh yay!! Kelsey's home again for another visit!!
While the circumstances are certainly hard (understatement of the year) - I'm so thrilled for YOU that 3/4 of your family is home for the time being!!
