Missouri and back again.

It was so nice to see my family for Thanksgiving! Our time was packed full of fun things.

We did some tree climbing.

My cousin Ashley invited us out to the farm to see the bottle calf eat. Shiloh really liked the chicken. Thanks Ashley!

We celebrated Christmas with family while we were home. The kids loved that!

I got to meet my new niece Taytum (on the left), my new nephew Kohen (middle), and Aggie enjoyed hanging out with them (right).

Here we are en-route.
Our travels were more eventful than one would hope for, but what do you expect with 3 little people. We flew, the kids were great on the way there. Our main event was an over-night stay in Atlanta, b/c of a flight delay. Thankfully it was a mechanical problem and we were compensated for our troubles.
On the way home, we learned an important lesson. The Schloss family only has 2 flights in them. As we were approaching Atlanta from Kansas City, we were informed that the Atlanta airport was closed b/c there was a storm over the air field. About 90 aircraft were diverted to out-laying fields to wait, we were one of those aircraft. So we hung out in Huntsville, AL. Thankfully it was only a couple hours and we were back in the air headed to Atlanta. We landed and our connection was delayed, so we had a few hours to burn there. Our final and 3rd flight of the day was short, but eventful. It was 8 or 9 o'clock ish, a long day. I was that person with the screaming baby, most of the flight. Shiloh had a potty accident in the seat. And Hosea, who has been doing pretty good with potty training, decided to fill his pull up with #2. The flight attendant suggested that maybe the baby filled her pants. She had gas, but hadn't bore any fruit from her labor. It wasn't until we got off and stopped at the bathroom to clean Shiloh up that we realized it was Hosea that was stinking the place up. If we had stopped at 2 flights we would have been good. :)

It's so nice to be home, I am catching up on sleep and chores. Hoping to decorate a tree soon!

  3. Whew, I am exhausted from merely reading about your flying experience. =) My mom grew up in Huntsville, Alabama and we visit nearly every year. I wish that I would have know that is where you guys were... I could have had my grandparents come up to the airport to bring you goodies or provide you with transportation while waiting on your connecting flight! I should have asked you when you and I were texting back and forth on that day. Next time, friend. =)

    Glad to have the Schloss' back in town!
