We got on the flight in LA about 8PM. Sarah had just fallen asleep and had to be carried. Just as we were boarding, a guy near us got sick. We have never moved so fast in all our lives trying to get away from him. I felt a little bit like the bad guy in the story of the Good Samaritan. Once we got on the plane the kids went right to sleep. They have an uncanny ability to sleep soundly in the most contorted positions. The rest of the trip went well, I was even able to get my hot pepper spray through customs. We arrived in Auckland just before 6AM. Uncle Greg was at the airport to meet us, and he is sporting a great big mustache in honor of Movember, where the guys are all growing mustaches as a fund raiser of some sort. Emma had a few comments about it. We came to Mark's parents' house (They are away in Sydney until Friday), unpacked, and went to The Warehouse to get the girls some Roman Sandals for their school uniform. We did our best to stay awake as late as we could, but the kids were all in bed and asleep by 6:30. Mark and I didn't last much longer.

How lucky are you that all 4 can sleep so well! And sorry, I must have missed the big news. How long will you be gone?
Glad we got the skype set up. It makes you seem not so far away. Sleeping in car seats has prepaired them. Mom
So glad you all made it safe and sound!
We just got in late last night from a great trip to Kansas city with all of my family... trying to recover today from the trip and a stomach bug.
We will pray you are well and think of you often!
Only Heather would pack up a family of 6 and live a world away....I love it. It makes the weekend trip to Saskatchewan seem sissy. I will be checking this site often so hope you don't lose your blogging momentum. I got your Christmas card today. I actually have one for you this year and it features all 3 of my fabulous dogs. Where can I send it?
