We arrived into London yesterday afternoon after a VERY long flight. Mind you it was actually an hour shorter than the Pacific, but something about this one was longer. Perhaps it was the baby who didn't have her own seat, or the fact that she didn't sleep ALL night. It was tough having her in our lap and her staying awake through the night while Chris and I could barely keep our eyes open. It also didn't help that I got a cold the day before. Regardless, we made it and were happy to see Grandpa Jeff. Reina made up a sign for Grandpa. Its kind of a cute story. At swim lessons we sing a song that goes, "baby shark, mama shark, daddy shark, etc" and it has accompanying hand gestures (not signs). Reina adopted the grandpa shark gesture. She took right to Grandpa, so perhaps those skype sessions do help!
We finally got out this afternoon after a rough night of sleep (Reina again wouldn't sleep; we're chalking the 1 to 4am wake up to excitement) and a nice mid-morning nap. She did sleep in the pack and play the whole time, so that was a plus. So, enough about troubles! We drove into St. Ives to feed the ducks and eat dinner. Reina showed Grandpa how to smell the flowers too. Chris' brothers come in tomorrow and then we have lots of plans. Liz's graduation and closing show are Sunday. Then we have dinner with Liz's boyfriend on Tuesday in London (and we're staying overnight at Liz's flat). On Wednesday we move Liz out of her flat and we are all going to squeeze into the Eastman house. Chris and I are still planning on a trip to Edinburgh later in the week, and we are debating on whether or not to bring Reina still.
