We made it to London!!!!

Its 10:15 am London time and we leave at 10:40 am onto Frankfurt.
We had a great flight,and thanks to Ambien, I slept almost the entire way.

So far, so good!!!

It's very interesting noticing all the different nationalalities at the Heathrow airport. Lots of women dressed to the nine's, and people drinking beer very early.

Love ya! Onto Frankfurt!!!

Todays paper is filled with the baggage nightmare they experienced at JFK yesterday and all I could think was I hope you were not one of the thousands who got caught up in in it - lucky you that the software was down that handles the overage charges - the nice guy working for American couldn't charge you if he wanted to!!

Glad your travels are going well!

Glad you made it.

We just got the call - we are going to Ust-Karemenogorsk in 20-30days (60 at most). Wow. Was not prepared for this so soon. Will be getting the scoop from Suz & Matt.

I still have so much to do!!!

What's up with these friends of yours that are up blogging at 2:41am, haha---Where are you now? It is 12:30 am in Kaz and I bet you are not sleeping, waiting to meet your daughter, I'm leaving my computer logged on and just daring my family to touch it--haha I know this is such a personal family moment, but I wish I was there holding your hand, thank you for posting and letting all of us share in your magic. xoxo

So glad you've crossed the pond! I thought 3 legs was bad; I don't know if I could stand 5! It's fun to know where you are. Can't wait to hear about your arrival in Kaz.

Let me know if the passengers on your flights applaud when the plane lands. Happened on two of my 3 flights. Ordinary flights -- not bumpy or anything. I'm still wondering if they knew something I didn't! Kinda freaky!

I keep thinking about you guys!!! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the silver and black bag combo. I was actually noticing it in the top pictures, and then there is a closeup! From your AZ counterpart- good pick :-)
Can't wait to see the next update!!!!
XOXO

It is Friday morning in Kaz, and I am on pins and needles for you all. Thinking of you nonstop. Can't wait to hear from you again!! You know we are sending tons of positive karma. Hugs, hugs, hugs!

I missed you all at the baby house if you made it there today. I had to leave a little earlier for my last eye doctor appointment. If you get this, call me ASAP! I'll be home tonight. I am dying to hear how everything went. I was so glad to hear that you were being picked up at the airport and made it here safely (a little birdie told me).
