We made it to Bologna Italy... after a long trip. It ended up taking a little over 24 hours to get here but we made it! There were lots of disasters and lots of blessings along the way. We had a hard time checking in at Salt Lake. Delta was not able to find Jordans ticket and we were at check in about 45 mins. We were worried we would miss the plane. We did made it though, only to find out that all 3 tickets were far away from each other. The plane was full and they were not able to change the tickets for us. Begging and nice passengers traded with us so that we could sit together.Then at Atlanta all 3 seats were far apart again (I asked to change seats on a once again completely full flight). The flight was delayed almost 2 hours and right when I asked to change seats a family of 3 gave up their tickets (thank heavens for tender mercies). So the overnight flight was all together too. We barely missed our connection in Amsterdam. The plane was pulling away as we came running up breathelessly. After a 6 hour wait there we finally made it to Bologna.
Notice the scab on Jordan's forehead. We got in about 10:30 p.m. The kids were in bed by midnight. At 2:30 Jordan woke up and wouldn't go back to his new crib. So I brought him to sleep with me. At 5:30 a.m. I woke up to horrible bonk and realized that Jordan had fallen out of bed and landed with his head on the hard marble. He cried for quite a while. When I took him into the bathroom he looked like he had a huge gash on his head. I thought for sure that he had split his head open and I would have to take him to the ER for stitches. Fortunately it was just a nasty abrasion. Probably will have a good scar anyway.
First real Italian gelato That we ate together. Too bad the picture is out of focus, but it was priceless anyway.
These kids are definitely suffering the time change. Aaron has a hard time waking up in the morning, and my is he awnry! This was Jordan trying to help us wake him up at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. This child has never slept past about 8 a.m. in his life. He usually wakes up at 6 a.m. at home.

Sounds like a crazy 24 hours and I'm sure it'll take about a week before the kids are adjusted. You are one brave woman! Have fun while you are there! Love you!
