Zoe came home last night. I picked Zoe and momma up at the airport at 7:30 PM. Oh my God, I spent 2 hours cleaning the house before I went to get them. It was so nice to see her again. I was unknowingly rude, trying to get her out of her stroller in the egress point of the security check point, holding up pedestrian traffic. I hate when people do that kind of thing and there I was doing it.

She already looked different to me . Her hair was longer and blonder (is that a word?) and she has six teeth showing now. I got the impression that she was not sure who I was but quickly realized that she was just sleepy and had just woken up a few minutes earlier. Kris told me that the entire flight, Zoe didn�??t make a sound, unlike 2 other kids on the plane that screamed the lion�??s share of the flight time. I carried her all the way to baggage claim kissing her every 10 steps or so. I’m so happy.

During the twelve day trip I called momma several times to ask her what her favorite color choice would be for a new car and she suggested maroon and 2 different shades of blue. That was the last we spoke about it. When we were at the airport walking to the car she looked at our Isuzu Rodeo and said �??is that us?�?� with a sigh in her voice. I told her yes and followed it up with my standard excuse that it was too much money and I just couldn�??t do it. She responded �??I knew you wouldn�??t.�?� I even complained about the Rodeo while we drove home. When we got home, as the garage door opened, I watched her face as she quickly realized that I did do it. A brand new 2006 Kia Sorento awaited her arrival at home. She was elated and smiled from ear to ear. It was really cool. I would tell you about what happened later that night but this is a family oriented site. We grabbed some food and momma gave Zoe a bottle and she was out like a light.

It is nice to have her back! I’m not sure I want to be away from her for that long any time soon.
P.S. I missed momma too!
