Jen's Here

Well, Jen made it in last night pretty uneventfully. Her flight actually landed before 10:30, but they had to sit out on the tarmac for about 30 minutes waiting for a gate. So, she ended up heading for baggage claim about the time she would have if the plane was on time.

Baggage claim was interesting. In terminal 1 at Oakland there are 4 baggage carrousel's, and Jet Blue shares the 4th one with 3 other airlines. Apparently there were several flights using that carousel that had arrive about the same time because I've never seen even half that many people crowded around one baggage carousel at one time. Fortunately they decided to use American's carousel for Jen's flight, and more fortunate still, we noticed... announcements on the PA were pretty much garbbled.

We retrieved her bags, headed home, and got to bed around 1:00 I think. Kaleb had tried to stay awake to greet his mom, but it was just too late. She gave him a kiss, but the real greeting waited until this morning.

It's good to have her here. We had a good day. The one downside is that Fok couldn't come with her, needing to finish up work at Harvard and supervising the movers on the 7th before flying to Spokane on the 8th. We're all hoping little Claire holds off making her appearance until then.

It's time to wind down the day and think about sleep. See ya!
