Lots of Pictures and cross your fingers a video!

Hi Blog Buddies!!!!! Aunt Laurie again. Oh my heavens i just love my niece and i think she like me too! O.K....focus. So they miss their connection, stay the night in chicago and get home about noon. When the luggage was picked up the wrong bag was inadvertantly picked up for Jen. So i comment, when we're home, that for someone who had no luggage she sure has a lot of clothes. She comes over to look and lo and behold it's not her luggage. I call the cell number and it's a lady from Wisconsin luggage who is visiting her brother who coincidentally enough has just had a baby. So i set out on the three hour round trip to deliver them their luggage and head back to the airport to retrieve jenny's suitcase (you know...the new one she had to buy in china). I'm thinking i'll just run in and it will be sitting in front of united's office. i get in there and there are three pieces of luggage and none of them are Jennys. Hmmmmmmmmm......so i go in the office and talk to (not even a half wit) a quarter wit who says..."it's not here she'll have to file a claim". I am not real happy at this point as i'd much rather be with my niece. So i say "you have got to be kidding me...it's got to be here every other of the 8 pieces of luggage made it here. Are you positive it can't be anywhere else???". To which she replies "you're free to check the back room but there are only two pieces back there and we know who they belong too". So i go back to check...wait for it...........and what do i see but the two suitcases that never made it to china!!!!!!!!!! Now i'm seething. Long story truncated...i won't repeat what i said and mind you i was as nice as i possibly could as i realize yelling at this quarter wit who knows absolutely nothing won't accomplish anything...she say's to me"is that who's this luggage is we've been trying to contact her for days and have attempted to deliver it three times and she's never there and hasn't returned our calls". "SHE WAS IN CHINA FOR TWO WEEKS WITH NO LUGGAGE FOR HER OR HER BABY" i say. "well let her know we did everything we could on our end to track her down and get it to her but she didn't answer". "SHE WAS IN CHINA...THERE WAS NO WAS SHE COULD RESPOND. COULD YOU NOT HAVE LOOKED HER UP TO CHECK HER ITINERARY" i say. "well the baggage ticket say's suzy smith" she says. "YES...THE BAGGAGE TICKET UNITED PUT ON IT SAYS 'SUZY SMITH' BUT DID YOU NOT SEE THE PERSONALIZED LUGGAGE TAG ON IT WITH HER NAME, PHONE NUMER AND ADDRESS ON IT AND NOTICE THE DISCREPANCY" i say. "we thought they were traveling together and just decide to call the number on the tag two days ago". no word about the new luggage yet. so there you have it folks...the brain trusts that are United.





O.K....Pics!!!!!!!!

Christopher and Erin with the signs Cousin Virginia and friend Nancy made...

HERE THEY COME!!!!!!!



Finally Aunt Laurie meets Abby!!!!















It was so joyful and after all this angel has been through she wasn't the least bit intimated. After returning home from my luggage trip Abby was asleep. Of course she was exhausted it was her night time. Uncle Chris, Christopher, & Erin headed home and Jenny and I got down to unpacking and organizing. Abby woke up at 9pm and we all played. Here she is trying to help me post last night...

Jenny went to bed around 11:30pm and shut her door. Abby and I played some more than i fed her her bottle and she went to sleep about 1am. I set her up on the floor and laid next to her and she slept until 6:30am! We got up and she had her bottle and breakfast than we went to Hardees so i could get coffee. She loved the ride! I woke up Jen at 9:30 so i could go get Christopher and Erin.

I snuck into Jenny's room after Abby fell asleep and got this picture of Jenny out cold!! Her and Abby both have bad colds. Cassie (who was asleep on her chest until i came in) and Quackers were sooooo happy to see their mommy!! Quackers laid on the luggage as if to say "you're not using this again!" Oh....and she went pee pee in her litterbox!

Here is miss Abigale last night...enjoy!!!!!!!
