The Plane!!! The Plane!!!

Just a quick note to thank y'all for your magical powers of persuasion. We are booked on a lovely non-stop flight from Lonestar home on Thursday morning! Can you hear the relief in my typing? Sooooooooooooooooooooooo glad we get to fly.

We carefully crafted our argument additional data points. It's truly all about making it as easy as possible for Ms FoodNetwork and the baybee. A four hour nonstop flight where the baby can be held the entire time vs a long train ride followed by a long car ride? Big cheers for logic prevailing (and the desire to not leave the baby in a carseat for 6-10 hours).

Thanks to our lovely airline (they love to fly and it shows) and my previous life we're all in first class. Yes, we will be those people in first class with a baby that everyone hates but I don't care. Ms Foodnetwork will be staying with us until early next week then flying home. I don't even want to think about that part yet.

I'll be home for my birthday with the bestest present ever. Life is good. Reallllllllllllllly good.

Wonderful news! I don't know much about adoption, but the way you guys are doing seems to such a wonderful, loving way to go about it. BabyFood is so very lucky that everyone involved has her best interests at heart.

I kind of want to buy a first-class ticket on that flight myself so I can menace anyone who dares to blink at the presence of this particular baby.

She'll be the best in-flight entertainment ever.

I think it is so neat that she is coming with you. Do you anticipate her visiting fairly often or have you had those discussions yet? I'm so, so, so happy for you, and so excited that it looks like this is IT. Finally!!!

Fantastic! Sounds like a great situation. Thank goodness you don't have to take a train and drive. I bet the little one will be a peach on the plane. :)

Give anyone who glares at you the link to your blog and they will feel like the biggest jerks on the face of the planet once they know the back story...maybe because they would be!

M--great news! I wanna be on that flight myself! So have you cleared ICPC yet, do you have to go back there to do that? Anyhow I know all of those details will work out. I think this will be the easiest trip you ever take with your little girl! Keep us posted!

[Jo]

Amazing! First time poster here, and a fellow resident of your fair city who was blessed with twin girls 6.75 years ago via DE. I've followed you off and on for years, and am SOOO so happy for you and your family -- all of you, Ms. Food, BabyFood, the Mister and you. Mazel tov!
