The people that got us through

So blogger was being stupid this morning and I could barely read all of your blogs let alone post anything!!

The good word is that the Oilers knocked out the Wings in the first round... Oh, wait! I suppose it is that we are finally home. Sorry about that. 10 days without hockey does that to a person. (I also apologize for my miss step earlier in saying that Ottowa was up in the series against Detroit. It was Edmonton)

So we finally made it home at about 10:30 Sunday night. I was just so stinkin' tired yesterday. Thus the no posting. I was also battling a personal war against my computer. It was not letting me download our photos off the memory cards. I think it had a grudge for lack of use in the last 10 days.

I am not sure if I told you all or not, but I had grand plans of bringing home a suitcase full of Vodka and Chocolate. Well... you remember that suitcase full of orphanage donations? Let's just say that little suitcase exceeded United Airlines 50 lb. weight limit. Gee I don't know why...

All in all the trip was good. Just for the record, there is no ill will toward Jamie & Suzanne for getting on the earlier flight. After my little meltdown in the airport I was able to entertain myself with the Lost special features disk until it was time to board the plane. We only wish we were able to say a proper goodbye to them. Go check out their site. Suzanne posted some fantastic photos of the trip. There is even one of me with my fancy new glasses.

I know you are all dying to see photos of Pickle. Most of you know that it is illegal to publish photos of Russian orphans on the internet or in any other public place until that child is legally yours. So you will have to settle for this...
