As Danny said we made it here safe and sound with very little incidents. Malachi lost his first top tooth, so he has that adorable missing tooth grin. Nealah loved watching the map on the plane that showed us where we were, so as soon as it was over the arch and closest to London she kept saying "we are going down" and there was no way she was going to miss that! So after some convincing that we were actually 2 hours from landing and a promise that I'd wake her, she fell asleep only to be woken an hour later. Elias and Riel fell fast asleep on take off, stayed awake the rest of the time to fall asleep 2 hours while landing. Lesson learned - don't pack your children any sort of toys or colouring books for a flight, they were entertained enough by their personal TVs and the bag of activities Air Transat gave them. We had way too many carry on bags and a long way to walk to customs.
We have been so blessed to have some friends of the family who have put us up! We are staying at Janet's house. She is the daughter of my grandma's friend, Jackie. When we first arrived no one was around at Janet's to let is in, so we made our way to Jackie's, where she greeted us, fed us and gave us wonderful, comfortable beds to nap in, woke us so we could better deal with jetleg, sent us to the park
, and then fed us again. A perfect day after a sleepless night. We then met our incredible hostesses Janet, her daughters Carmen and Mica and tenant Jack. We put the kids to bed and planned to head there soon ourselves but instead had an English history and language lesson in true English style over a couple of beer.
