The grandchildren are due to arrive at Indy International from Seattle around 5:30 PM today.
My cleaning gal came bright and early (9:00 AM) to spiff up the house. Between the two of us--mostly her--we got the house as clean as it can be for an old bungalow. She left around 11:30 or so. I tackled some laundry and other details, and kept in touch with my daughter in Seattle via internet to know what was what. When the time came, I started tracking the kids' flight online.
The plan was for the children to text me when they touched down. That would be my cue to head for the airport, which is only ten minutes away. I would drive to the cell phone lot and await another text from them indicating that they were at the curb awaiting pickup. Grandma Judy wanted to come with me, so we were both at my house, hoping for the best.
The flight went relatively flawlessly. When I got the "touchdown" text, we waited about ten minutes, then went to the airport's cell phone waiting area. Just as we turned into the lot, we got the text that the kids were at the curb, so we turned around to go to the terminal where we found our grandchildren. Yay!
Both kids had been up late the night before and had an early, early departure to get to Sea-Tac, and since neither had slept on the plane, they were weary. Although it was only 3:00 PM Pacific Time, they hadn't eaten since early breakfast, and so were ready to eat. Grandma Judy went home. I fed the kids "walking tacos" that I had prepared ahead of time, and after a short visit, the children disappeared into their bedrooms. Not unexpected. Robin did come out, at some point, after having been asleep for awhile, then went back to bed.
I just love having them here!
