When we moved to NY we made the stupid mistake of saving money by switching planes (twice)! I ended up trying to move three kids and eight pieces of carry-on luggage by myself, across the entire airport, while Rob tried to find food in the 10 minute interim between planes. One of our children had just had an accident on the last plane (poor person who had to sit on that wet seat!) and the whole experience was miserable. No one offered to help me and we almost missed our connecting flights both times.<BR/><BR/>Living here in NYC we routinely get the pleasure of trying to walk to where ever we need to go while pushing a stroller in the snow and riding on the subways takes on a whole new dimension when you have to carry a stroller up and down three flights of stairs.<BR/><BR/>On the positive side Elizabeth was ADORABLE and it looks like the wedding went really well. I'm glad you're back home though and able to get into a routine again. Thanks for writing about your adventures.Marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050061682998256014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-85915629219662817542008-03-31T19:28:00.000-07:002008-03-31T19:28:00.000-07:00Hi Karen,Wow, what a time.

It was fun to read such detail.<BR/><BR/>Love, KatheyKatheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415822375877762820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-90620337093090582632008-03-29T12:27:00.000-07:002008-03-29T12:27:00.000-07:00Wow, Karen, I had no idea you went through so much...Wow, Karen, I had no idea you went through so much to be there with us. And I was totally unaware of the incident in the bathroom at our reception! I'm glad the dress was as washable and dryable as you said.<BR/>I'm also glad that Peter felt comfortable getting to know people during all the festivities. I've felt COMPLETELY welcomed and loved by my in-laws, so I think I can relate to Peter in at least that respect. It's nice to know I'm loved and accepted, and it made getting to know their family and friends in Utah and Oklahoma that much easier.<BR/>Thanks for keeping this record of the week. Rachel and I are copying it and Heather's account into our records since it's nice to have the different perspectives on the week.<BR/>We love you! Kiss Elizabeth and say hi to Peter for us.<BR/>-Steve and Racheltpmotdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456475608512277499noreply@blogger.com
