We came home yesterday night after a long day at the Eagle airport. We were supposed to come home today, but there was some pretty bad weather going through Colorado and we wanted to get out before it got too bad. Since we were on standby tickets, if flights got cancelled then it would be hard for us to get on a plane since passengers would be moved onto later planes.

It was a zoo at Eagle, with people all over the place waiting for their planes, which were in holding patterns above the airport until they got the OK to land. We were on standby for the noon flight, but didn't end up leaving until four. Luckily, we got on first class.

By the time we got home, Ben was already sleeping. I wanted to wake him up and hug him and squeeze him til he popped. While we were gone he picked up a nasty little cold, so he woke up several times during the night hacking and coughing. This morning he woke up and he was so excited to see us. We spent the morning playing with him in bed, jumping around, laughing and tickling his skinny little belly. I had missed him so much while I was gone! I was away most of last week and for the first part of this week, and I'll be gone again next week. I'm going to get in as much quality time as I can!

So as much fun as I had during the vacation, I still missed my little booger!
