This beautiful cloud welcomed us back to Austin on Saturday evening. We are back home. Well, we were all back home. Rocky is already off again to LA this time. He'll be at Universal Studios until Friday the 4th working on the films they started before we went to Thailand this summer. It should be a great learning experience, but I have to say the timing was definitely not ideal.
Our travel home went well. It wasn't perfect of course but it was what you'd expect of 33 hours of traveling on 3 different planes with a toddler. Adelaide had her frustrating moments but in general she was a very flexible and happy girl. I'd like to make mention that there was absolutely no vomit on the way home!
I have a new love for the Narita airport where we had a 3 hour layover. The airport is filled with those moving walkways that could entertain a toddler for hours. Adelaide always got off asking for more. They have nurseries complete with cribs, rocking chairs, warm drinking water for bottles, and dim rooms. They also have tons of play areas for kids, and for grown ups they have really cool lounge areas. I've been to this airport I don't know how many times but I got to explore so much. If you've got a long layover, Narita's not a bad place to be. Chicago on the other hand, not so great. I'll skip the details on that boring layover.
We made it back early Saturday morning and were all in bed by 3am. Adelaide was thrilled to be back home. She ran around squealing for about an hour before we made her settle down for bed that morning. In our tired states, we forgot to set an alarm and woke up Saturday at noon! We had to wake Adelaide up. Probably not the most helpful move for getting over jet lag, but it sure felt nice at the time.
The cats missed us alot. Sanook, our finicky cat, couldn't get enough of sitting on our laps and cuddling. 
Adelaide's shoe obsession continues. At least it went from chewing on them at 7 months old to putting them on at 15 months.
