There's no place like home.

The flights went okay I think. Leia didn't sleep Thursday night, so we were all exceptionally tired for the entire trip. :( Leia ended up sleeping about 1½ hours in the Newark airport. Which gave Fredrik and I a chance to sit down and rest and relax for a bit. When she woke up though, she was very, very angry and screamed quite a lot. :/

On Wednesday.. or was it Thursday maybe.. we found out from Farmor that no one ever showed up to fix our fireplace.... So we are just a "little" angry about that. No call, no messages, no e-mail -- so we aren't very happy. I wanted Fredrik to call the guy tonight, but he is going to call on Monday I suppose.

Leia complained a little on the long flight. But it was a tired-crying. And even though it was probably only 5 minutes, to us and everyone else on the plane, it probably felt like it was 30 minutes. You know? But after that she slept 3½-4 hours, and the flight was only 7½ hours long. So she slept most of the flight. So she did pretty well I think on both trips, considering the length of the flight(s) and her age. This flight, the most fun toy was the seatbelt.

We had ordered a taxi so it was waiting for us after we got our luggage. But of course, we had so much stuff - I guess it was bound to happen - we forgot 2 small bags and Fredrik's jacket in the taxi. *sigh* One was Leia's red bag, with her books and a couple of toys. The other bag was my purse. *SIGH* With our 5 passports, my wallet, my cell phone, and camera..... So no pictures for awhile longer! He sent us a message when he found everything in the taxi, but we were all asleep (we slept for 5 hours before making our way home to Åmål). So Farfar is going to help us out and pick everything up at the company's taxi station and then we will hopefully get everything back soon enough.

Very annoying, but at least the taxi driver was good about getting in contact with us when he found everything. And at least we didn't lose them somewhere else (where we might not have gotten them returned).

Leia (and the rest of us) were very happy to get home. (After our very short 4½ hour drive home - much faster with no traffic!) Leia didn't want to go to bed tonight. Well, she fell asleep, but she didn't want to sleep in her bed. So we are in for a horrible time I think, getting her back to sleeping how she used to. She hasn't sleep well in almost 2 weeks. And we are afraid that our good, sleeping baby is completely gone.

Tomorrow we are going to mop the living room, since it is empty......
And then transplant the dining room furniture in the living room. Also need to mow and pick weeds. And of course unpack!

It will be a looong 2 days and many more long days to come as we get back to our routine -- also seeing as Leia now screams bloody murder now when she has a bath, something she has also been doing for the last 2 weeks.

We had a fantastic time with Mormor and Morfar, and we are thankful they let us come stay with them and we had so much fun visiting with everyone. But we are glad we are home.
