HOME!!!!

We did leave Guatemala on Saturday. Got to the airport around 10:30AM and landed in MSP at 10:30PM. Travelling is exhausting. Charli was a trooper. She slept on both legs of the flight. She also flirted with the customs officer in Atlanta and I do think he liked her.



We landed in MSP and were greeted by Tony and Dani Murillo, Juli Pelletier and then Eric and Karen showed up. It was very nice of them to be there so late at night. We finally got home around 12:30PM. Charli would NOT leave my side. Let's face it, it was a whole new environment AGAIN!!! She slept with me. (it was easier) Sunday we got up and mom came over to help me out so I could get a quick shower. Then we went to their house and ALL of Eric's family came over at some point. Amanda loved her, so did Doby. Emma and Jake got right down on the floor and played with her. They also spoke to her in Spanish. It was a great day. She did sleep in her crib after fussing for about 20 minutes. She didn't get up until 7:30AM today.



Today, she fought naps real hard. So, again, I asked mom to come over. After showering, we went to Woodbury as I needed to get gates. Mom's bridge group was playing in town as well. Of course Charli fell asleep in the car. But didn't nap again all day. She just fought going to bed again, but this time only fussed for 15 minutes. I guess it's getting better. I am going to spend more time this week working on establishing a schedule. Consider all she's been through, she's a very good baby with a sweet disposition.

Again, thanks for all the support and we hope to see you all soon.

Welcom back to MN! Being on a set schedule really does help. Kids will always hate taking a nap...so that fight will never end, trust me ;0) Olivia jumped out of her crib the other day. I don't think she's ready for a toddler bed, so we have to figure out what to do now.
