Finally home!

After a very long day, we finally made it home late last night. We checked out of our hotel about 11:00 and traveled back up to Minneapolis. We decided to hit up the Mall of America, and oh my gosh! What a place that was! It had an in-door Nickelodeon amusement park, an Aquarium, a miniature golf course, tons of restaurants and of course tons and tons of stores. I think it was 3 or 4 stories high. Totally insane! Jacob did a few rides in the amusement park and we saw Dora and Diego. We ate lunch at Johnny Rockets and did a little shopping for Megan, Ryan and Dylan.

We left the mall around 4:00 and headed back to the airport. We got our rental car returned and checked in with minimal troubles... oh, besides the fact that Jon forgot he had a water bottle in his backpack and apparently he looks like a terrorist so his bag got searched and they tested the water. It was kind of annoying, but hey, they're doing their job. We got to our gate and about an hour we were off to Denver. Jacob did great on the flight, but I could tell he was getting tired. He slept most of the flight from Denver to Sacramento which was nice. Once in Sac, we got back to Jon's car in the parking lot and it had a dead battery. At midnight. With no jumper cables. Nice. Thankfully another lady had the same problem and her tow truck was driving by our car so we flagged it down and he helped us free of charge. Thank you Lord! We got home around 12:45 and everyone passed out. Aunt Amy and Grandma A. helped the triplets make a "welcome home" sign for Jacob (below). It was so adorable and Jacob was really excited to see it. We got up this morning and picked up the little kids from my parents house. We were all so happy to see each other! It felt like forever since we'd seen them. We spent the morning and early afternoon swimming and just hanging out.
Now we are in to the waiting game. It should be 3-4 weeks before we hear back from the doctor on the remainder of the blood work. My stomach is nervous just typing those words. It's going to be a long few weeks. We'll be praying for good results, for calm stomachs, for peace of mind and for sleep-filled nights. Add Image
