WE MADE IT.....BARELY!!!!

Sorry, no pictures or video. I packed my laptop power supply and adapter for my camera in my main bag that didn't make it home along with our other bags. That's just the beginning of the story of our trek home. Buckle your seat belts...
We get to the airport at 7am (two hours early) and they move us the front of the line only to tell us that we might not make the flight because we didn't purchase our lap sitting ticket for Sofia with the ticket agent. Our agent said it was easier and cheaper to just purchase the ticket at the airport...that was not the case. The took the next hour and a half giving us ulcers as we waited to see if they could make it happen. They finished minutes before we were supposed to board, our stomachs were in knots. The plane wasn't ready and we ended up waiting for 45 minutes.
First flight was to some weird place in Russia and it only took 2.5 hours. We had an open seat next to us and Sofia was able to sleep. We stayed on the same plane with the same open seat for our flight to London. We had to wait for an hour to refuel and we were on our way. Sofia did pretty good. Eat, scream, sleep, repeat!
As we were flying into London they informed us that they had huge thunderstorms that morning and they had actually shut down the airport for a time so we had to circle for an hour before landing because of the traffic. Once on the ground we stayed in the same place for an hour because of the traffic. Our connecting flight to LAX was at 4pm and when we got off the plane it was 4pm. We landed in terminal 4 and our flight was out of terminal 1 (the furthest terminal away). Add to this that our gate was the as far away as you could get as well. Alyssa had Sofia in a sling...I consolidated our two carry-0ns into my backpack (now weighing 634 lbs. because you can't have 2 carry-0ns in London) and our enormous diaper bag. We ran the whole way to get there and the flight had been delayed till 5pm...praise Jesus. We boarded the plane smelling like 2 homeless people...completely exhausted! We proceeded to sit on the plane for an hour because there were 20 people still looking for the plane in the terminal. Sofia was screaming and Alyssa was on the verge of breakdown. We had to have her buckled in so we couldn't get up and walk...it was awful. We finally take off and they give us the awesome bassinet in front of us that Sofia sleeps in on and off for 7 hours...amazing! The rest of the flight goes fine and we finally end up at LAX. We go to baggage claim and no bags...classic! We head to the exit and meet Zeke with Alyssa's parents. (I have video that will be up when I get my cable back) I go to fill out the forms and there are 40 people in front of me with one person working the desk. We were supposed to land at 7pm...we landed at 8:30pm...we got out of the terminal by 11pm. It was one of the craziest days ever but it's finally done. We got home...Sofia slept from 1am to 4:30am...woke up...took a bottle...went back to bed till 6am...Alyssa and I couldn't sleep...and now our life of 4 begins. Stop by and say hi! We are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad to be home.
