Got nephew

Picked up my niece from sisters house. My older nieces had cheese sandwiches made for lunch. Came home with some flowers and balloons for our Welcom Home Party. Then unpacked my niece and chilled out at my place. My niece was astonished that I was driving her Mommy's car. I took my sister and brother-in-law to the airport and we agreed 2 car seats and an adult is a very a tight squeeze in my backseat. So when I started the car I said, Let's see if I can back up this puppy without hitting the house (they have a narrow and long driveway). My niece got excited and asked where the puppy was. I had to explain the car was the puppy. SO get to my place and take my cat for a walk. She gets upset about getting dirty and to take a bath and change clothes. She will get more dirty and later nearly slipped on some mud.



We arrive at the airport early and chat with my old friends. Their flight is an hour in half late. Niece can not understand this and not something I can just fix. She will have to wait. Even better, a storm starting coming in when we arrived and by the time their plane landed, it was a full blown storm complete with tornado near a town 12 miles south of the airport (my friends there got some good shots they posted on facebook). B/C the airport does not want anyone struck by lightening, they have to wait to unboard. 2 and half hours we wait for them to get off the plane. Sister calls from the plane and I assure her that I am not going home, we will wait. Niece predicts doom that they are coming out tomorrow or worse, they are never coming off the plane and we will never see them again. They are right outside on the tarmac, we will see them again. When they finally come, we wait for baggage, 4 flights worth of bags came before our turn. Take a bathroom break with the kids while I guard the bags. Off to the car and drive home.



Home niece was readya nd willing to show every object to her new brother. But it was time for bed. I petted their cat nephew was terrified of good bye, hugged and kissed niece good-bye, and by this time nephew was getting use to me and let me hug him good-bye. Today is my brother-in-law's birthday. My niece has a theory that older people are taller. Yes in childhood, but adulthood it does not apply. She can't understand how her cat is older than her with a tiny 8 lbs body. Age doesn't judge height.
