The 4 older children are staying with Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen. Dennis took them to Grandma's last night. We had to wake up at 6am in order to make our flight at 9:45. First of all my brain would not shut down. I literally didn't sleep at all last night, so I was up at 5am repacking and printing our check in papers. Pathetic I know. My stomach does this every time I fly. I get all nervous until we are actually in the air. We breezed through check in and thanks to Bonnie, our little "baby in arms" we got to go to the front of the security check line. That line was so long! So it all went really smoothly for us. Before we got on the plane Dennis called Grandma to check on the kids and she told us that Khora had a rough night last night. She stayed in her bed but apparently she threw-up. I think it was nerves. This is all a little difficult for her I think. I'm sure she'll do much better from now on though.
So the flight was great, as great as sitting for 4.5 hours can be. Bonnie did so well and didn't fuss at all. She slept for 2 hours and was easily entertained for the rest of the time. Mostly with Dennis' ear phones. There were two guys who sat behind us that talked the entire time. I don't think I have talked for 4 hours straight in my life. It was funny! We took the subway from the airport to our hotel. Not too bad, and we didn't even get lost. There was a very helpful subway worker who led us in the right way.
Observation 1: People love Bonnie. They love to talk to her and she makes them feel great. She gives lots of cute smiles. People are drawn to her. Tonight I had a young lady ask if she was mine. She said, She is just adorable! She could be a baby model, just like a Gerber baby. Fun! But the cutest story. We showed up at our hotel. The Lenox, the oldest hotel in Boston. There was this adorable little old man who works here, Jimmy. When he saw Bonnie, he came up and started talking to her, she has that effect on people. He asked us if she got a present yet. We told him no. He said, "stay right here don't leave until I come back.", then he disappears into this employees only room. When he cam back out he had a big soft plush lamb for her. It was so sweet.
Observation 2: There are a lot of people in Boston! Holy Cow!! I was actually feeling a little claustrophobic. Apparently there was a Red Sox game today and they won so everyone was in town celebrating! We went out to dinner at a very unique place called Max Brennor, Chocolate by the Bald Man. Death by chocolate baby! Didn't know that Bean town was referring to the chocolate bean. Our hotel concierge got us right in! (How fabulous is that!) Besides being very loud and dark, the ambiance of it all, it was pretty good food, not just chocolate. Bonnie lost her pacifier on the floor and we never got it back, she was a little over stimulated by it all, plus she only had one nap, on the plane, and was just so done! I took her home and Dennis walked to Wall*greens and picked her up a new one pacifier. While he was there he met a lady peddling for money so she could buy a burrito this|-------------|big. Of course he gave her some change. She asked him that was food he was carrying, and what it was because she wouldn't eat it if she didn't like it. It was our banana split waffle dessert from dinner, she said that she wouldn't it that, thank goodness, because it was really good. Funny! Nice people here though. Bonnie was crying on the walk home and a man walking by, kind of rough looking, told her, "don't be sad little girl."
Well I don't know what will happen tomorrow, Dennis leaves early for his first day of Conference, but I know that I will be sleeping in. Good night all!
