Safe and Sound

Well, after a looooong night, operation SURPRISE went off without much of a hitch!  The McBrides came through the customs door at 1:45 am this morning...poor Amelia with pink eye and all of them frazzled and tired.  

Seans face was priceless....as I stood there with my sign (will post pictures later), he looked at me with the "hey, I know her, no, that can't be her, wait, it is her" and then was followed by a vocal "What are you doing here?"  and then Sarah saw us and...well...we became that really sappy movie with the long embrace and the chatter and the giggling!  It was great.  I am so glad we were there to help them get on their way.  

Crazies that they are...they drove to Norfolk at 2:45 in the morning...i tried to get them to come to Barbs but they wouldn't and went on their way.  So I am hoping that they made it safely.

But, all in all, it was a really great night er uh I mean morning and I am so happy!  A woman in the airport asked if we were waiting for family...and without hesitation I replied, "yep, we sure are!"

WELCOME HOME McBRIDES!!!!!
