April 9...Flight update

Infamous garbage truck that comes every morning
Julia and Lilly (our travel partners from Baltimore's daughter)


Well, for those of you who know, Ethan's flight was delayed over 6 hours leaving Atlanta. Therefore, up until about an hour ago, we did not know if he would get "stuck" in Frankfurt or not. Unfortunately, he did miss his connecting flight in Frankfurt, but they have re-routed him and he is to land in Astana tomorrow morning (Kaz time) and will have a 6 hour layover in Astana and then fly directly into Petro and be here by early afternoon. I am very thankful he will arrive as scheduled. I have to admit I was a little panicked when I got a text from him this morning that said "Wake up sleepy head" at 8 am. As, he was supposed to be over the Atlantic ocean at that time. Never a dull moment.
Julia was a little sleepy today, so she played pretty quietly. I was holding her in my lap and talking to her, and she fell asleep sitting staight up in my arms. We did spend some time with little Lilly, her parents were our card playing friends and are due to come back and pick her up later this month.
Caleb and I went back to the inflatable playground/pizza place today. Then, we came home and there was a near disaster. Our portable DVD player broke! This is not good, as unfortunately DVDs are a big source of entertainment in this hotel room in Siberia. Ethan is on it though, he is currently looking for a replacement DVD player in the Frankfurt airport. Oh, and Caleb learned a new phrase today that he has said ALL DAY, it goes something like this "What's that?". Any of you parents heard that before???
