\nDaddy and Damian fell fast asleep on the couch
\nafter the hard 24-hour journey to Lincoln, England.
\n22 December 2007<\/p>\n

We had\u00c2\u00a0a grueling 24-hour journey which involved missed plane connections and missed trains, dealing with\u00c2\u00a0Delta Airlines (anyone who has flown Delta knows what I mean by “dealing with Delta” — this was not the first time we have missed our flight connection while flying Delta), dragging five bags of luggage and two sleeping children in strollers through the London Underground, waiting in a warm pub on a cold day at King’s Cross Station while Grandpa Damian sorted out new train tickets, and running –\u00c2\u00a0literally running<\/em> –\u00c2\u00a0down\u00c2\u00a0platform three with five bags of luggage and two sleeping children in strollers to get a seat on the train\u00c2\u00a0(the train was fully booked and it was first come\/first served; if you didn’t get a seat, you would have to wait for the next train).<\/p>\n

But we are in England now\u00c2\u00a0and I’m finally not tense.\u00c2\u00a0 And it finally feels like Christmas.\u00c2\u00a0 Cold weather, lots of pressies under the tree, surrounded by family, grandparents doting on the grandchildren and planning a magical Christmas for everyone, loads of sweeties in the kitchen.\u00c2\u00a0 It definitely feels like Christmas.<\/p>\n

Christmas in England with Matt’s family is always fun and warm.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s going to be a good Christmas. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
