In An Aeroplane Over The Sea

For those of you I know have been on pins and needles waiting to know if we made it across the ocean ;)...we did. And believe it or not travel really couldn't have gone much better. It was an absolute dream. I mean, we were traveling with our 10 and a half month old, but all things considered it was lovely. Nice weather, all flights on time, limited turbulence and no real meltdowns to speak of. We even got compliments on the behavior of our kid. In which I basked. ;) Best of all we arrived in Brussels right on time and today was a beautiful day here in Hasselt. So while Josh remedied his jet lag with a long afternoon nap, I forwent the luxury of sleep to spend the afternoon around town and chatting on the patio with my Mom.

And again, loveliness. However, Frazier became progressively out of sorts throughout the day and it's escalated to now where I sit in the living room blogging for lack of anything else to do and he's crying himself to sleep (hopefully) in the crib in our room. I figure he has to go to sleep eventually...I've tried EVERYTHING. And I mean that in the true sense of the word. The kid isn't into going to sleep. But he doesn't want to stay up and play either. I was up for that even though I've only had four and a half ours of sleep since Saturday night. I suppose it's the rigorous demands of time travel. After all, as Josh said, it's like we flew into the future!

Of course, since I, too, lost half a day my schedule's been disrupted too and I'm still not sure what time it is. I'm reasonably certain it's Wednesday. Yes, the computer confirms it's Wednesday and offers 0:24 as the time...so is that twenty four minutes past midnight maybe?

I took lots of cute pictures today and yesterday during our travel and perhaps one day...when my sleepy brain is working better, I'll dig out the camera cord and post some. Until then you'll have to imagine that out-of-sorts kid or not, we're thrilled to be here. And it's wonderful...really wonderful. I kind of can't believe we're here!
