My Mom is here!!!
My mom arrived yesterday. I haven't seen her since we moved here so it is great to have her here. I took the bus out to the airport to meet her. I waited for about an hour after her planed landed for her to come through the doors. As I had assume, her luggage had not arrived and that is why it took her so long to get through customs. She had to go to the luggage office and give them her information so that when they found her bags they would be able to get them to us. Once she did that and came through customs we hopped in a cab and headed back to the apartment. We stopped at the baguette shop and picked up a sandwich and then walked home. The girls were excited to see grandma. Ali had just gone down for a nap before we got back but it didn't last since she heard grandma and wanted to see her. After a littl ebit we headed out to show my mom the neighborhood and pick up stuff for supper. The airline people called to tell us they had her luggage and would deliver it. We hung out in the apartment with the girls playing with grandma and waited for the luggage to arrive. The driver called and didn't speak English so I tried to figure it out in Czech. I thought I had figured it out that he said he was here so I said ok and went downstairs. He wasn't there. I was a little dissappointed b/c I thought I had understood but I thought maybe he said he was on his way so I stayed down there for a little bit. When he hadn't shown up I decided to call him back and ask him when he would be here. I was trying and then finally gave up and asked a stranger walking by if they spoke English. Luckily she did and so I asked her to ask the driver when he was going to be here in Czech. So she took my phone and spoke to him. From her conversation and her telling me when she was done speaking to the driver I learned that he was in the wrong place and he would be at our apartment in 5 minutes. So, my mom's bags showed up and I carried them upstairs. The girls were in heaven! My mom brought so much stuff for them since she we had told her to not worry about Christmas last year she just brought Christmas with her. The girls were so happy. We got the kids to bed after opening all the new toys, princess dresses and clothes. They wanted to keeping playing but it was late so we had to stop them. They were excited to know that grandma was going to be here in the morning to play.
