+ let reese sleep in a big girl bed for the first time [twin mattress on the floor...she did pretty well...we only went in a couple of times to find her standing up with the cushions from the chair on her bed and the curtains wide open]
+ enjoyed the breakfast downstairs [we all know how much i like hotel breakfasts]
+ said goodbye to our dear friends in budapest
+ shopped the christmas market one more time
+ took matson to the beautiful st. stephen's basilica [probably my most favorite place in budapest...each time i go there i see something different...i've seen a bride walking down the isle, little hungarian girls practicing their flutes for a performance, another wedding party taking pictures outside on the front steps and this last time i saw mass]
+ doctored a sick reesey boo for a couple of days
+ watched lots of cartoons
+ packed up 8 checked baggage, 3 carry-ons, 2 carseats, 1 stroller and 2 kids
+ boarded a plane for the usa [well, first to amsterdam and then to houston]
+ LOVED business class on the plane
+ didn't sleep for 24 hours +. [we all did pretty well on the 11 hour flight...matson and i had two seats together while matt and reese were on the other side of the plane together...i held matson almost the entire time to keep him quiet...he didn't sleep much...reese slept only the last two hours...needless to say matt and i didn't sleep either]
+ arrived in houston at baggage claim to all of our luggage already on a cart waiting for us! [a wonderful perk of business class]
+ paid way too much for a hotel room by IAH where we got up at 4 a.m. on tuesday morning
+ drove to gram + papa's house
+ enjoyed lots of delicious home cooked meals [my mom's a great cook]
+ played outside on a rainy, foggy day
+ shopped at target three times already [and a few more places i've missed]
+ introduced matson to my brother, sister-in-law and cousin
+ got behind the wheel of a car again
+ enjoyed going out to dinner with all adults [my parents, me, matt, my brother and sister-in-law...a rarity these days...my aunt marsha and cousin nicole stayed with reese, matson and brody]
currently we are enjoying...
+ the conveniences of the usa
+ the warm weather [although a cold snap just blew through last night]
+ a little relaxation [i know it doesn't seem like we can have too much relaxing with two small children, but it's possible when both parents are around and the grandparents]
+ 107.1 kgsr [good ol' texas tunes]
+ cable tv
+ target [have i mentioned that yet???]
+ english
we are pretty much adjusted to the new time zone [i've been falling asleep on the couch at 9:30 each night because i'm still getting up in the middle of the night with matson baby...he is having a harder time, but it's getting better each night...reese and matt are good to go]
