OK, so we’re back. Most of our luggage isn’t. In fact, of the four things we checked, 3 didn’t make it. What came? The car seat. Of course, they lost that on the trip East.

Maybe I should cut Air Canada some slack, since our flight out of Halifax was delayed almost 4 hours. That meant that we were booked on no fewer than 3 different flights from Toronto to Vancouver. Who would have expected a modern airline to route baggage along such a complicated path?

And the flight from Toronto to Vancouver (on which we had centre-aisle seats instead of our original side aisle two-seats-to-ourselves assignment) was extended almost an hour in the air due to head winds. We arrived home at 8:30pm. Make it 12:30pm 12:30 AM Atlantic time. We got up at 6am to get ready to leave.

I ask you … how cranky do you think the 9-m0nth-old was?

Really? Nope.

Even crankier.

But, we’re home. The luggage is supposed to arrive later today. Someone called at quarter to seven this morning. You’d think we should have been up, but we weren’t. Or, more accurately, we were abed again.

I’ll get Gwen to post stuff about the trip.

Halifax, here we come!

An early “Christmas” dinner with the Champanges was nice. There was present opening, a little bit of choking, and good food. Time to finish packing now, get the boy down, and figure out what we’ve forgotten to do.

Oh, and sleep.

G’night.

Well, I guess we’re coming to NS with some new skills. Aidan has decided that we don’t move him fast enough to things that he wants (mainly some odd fascination with the TV remotes) and as such has figured out how to …. crawl.

This, while exciting, is also worrying. Keeping up with the boy is going to be much more of a challenge. He’s already wedged himself between the subwoofer and the table — a place he couldn’t get to just by rolling — several times. The table isn’t as much of a barrier as it was just yesterday.

And, I’m certain that within the next few days tooth #4 will be poking through.

At least he went down relatively early tonight.

Off to pack.
