Home Sweet Home

After one loooooong week, Shelby and I are finally home. I had to go to New Orleans to help train a new person at work, so Shelby came with me, and my sister, Brianne, and my niece, Claire, came over to Metairie Mon-Thurs to watch Shelby at the hotel. They swam, played with bubbles, kept each other from taking naps, and took many rides in the wagon. Throughout the week, I kept saying they were "partners in crime". I think Brianne might agree. She just seemed so exhausted by the end of the week. Thanks again, Brianne for all your help!

Friday, Becky was kind (brave) enough to watch Shelby all day. I think Shelby had a great time playing with Tyler and Sam. Becky said it was great to have a little girl around all day, and laughed because she said in a house full of boy toys, of course Shelby picks up the Mardi Gras beads and plays with the necklace. Thanks, Becky, for watching Shelby!

Even though I am sure Shelby had a great time playing with her cousins and those cute Thalgott boys, and I was glad to see my sisters and close friends, I think we were both happy for Friday to come so we could go home to see Jeremy. I knew the flight home was going to be rough, because it was at 5:45 PM, which as any mom knows is usually not a good time for any baby. On top of that, it was a crowded flght, and we were going to be wedged in-between people. So when I checked in, and the screen said, "We are pleased to offer you an upgrade to first class for only $45", I jumped on it. I was already going to have to pay the $25 fee for my second checked suitcase, but when I upgraded to first class, the fee was waived, so really I was able to upgrade for only $20. Was it worth it for a flight that is only a little over an hour long? Yep. She was extra wiggly and squirmy and I was glad to have the extra room. So that was a nice way to end a long week. When we got to the airport, Shelby got to show off her walking skills that she perfected over the week by walking up to Jeremy to give him a big hug. We topped it all off by going to eat Mexican food. Returning home to Jeremy and Mexican food. Ahh...home sweet home.
