Flights!

Alright now that I'm back in action I thought i'd better blog our trip in small doses!

For the last 3 months Ottavia almost everyday spoke of her soon to be airplane ride. We played airplane ride, pretended to buckle our seat belts, she noticed every plane in the sky, we really made a point of getting her excited!

Airplane Ride day arrived. We were off to a very early start. Evening though we arrived at the airport 2 hours ahead of flight, we were still rushed. Customs and security line up's were super busy. We pre-boarded and i Cavi wiped everything down and got settled in.

Long story short, my worst flying experience ever, a 3 hours flight turned into 6 hours with a re route landing due to weather.....worst, thought we were going down for sure turbulence...turned into a very positive experience with Ottavia. She LOVED it :) we had one issue where she didn't want to wear her seatbelt and she was super pissed for about 5 minutes but that ended quickly. It was all about chips and ipad and juice but whatever. She loved it. Thank god through rough part she slept through it. I looked over at Tino he was green. I thought for sure he would puke but he didn't, I was more scared for my life emailing my mother!

On a side note...if you youtube a crosswind landing...well we basically landed sideways then starting moving forward...

We arrived in florida at 1030 pm instead of 3pm so needless to say we were tired and hungry and ready to settle in.

As for the flights home, no problems, everything was on schedule, and Ottavia slept 2 of the 3 hour flight. when we landed she sat up and said home now :) Here are a few pictures!

Reflection

I've taken a giant vacation from everything.....blogging, cleaning, wearing make up, blow drying my hair, wearing socks or a coat....I could go on forever. Tomorrow we make the long trek home, and looking forward getting back in the groove before Tino leaves to Russia. I just let the cat outta the bag but ill get more Into that later....

So long Florida, We will miss the friendly Ya'll southern peeps!! eating breakfast watching the dolphins feed, miller lite for lunch, great shopping, non stop sunshine and heat!

Ottavia become's a Child of the LORD!!

I'm laughing to myself at the title of my blog...am I super religious?? No...do I believe in god and was I raised Catholic?? Yes....do we rush out of bed on a sunday to sit in mass?? No...but did I want my daughter baptised because thats just what we feel was best?? Yes!

Ottavia got baptized in Regina with her 2 other cousins. I was a little concerned about the whole situation....she's a little older so getting water/oil poured on the head was probably not the greatest idea. Also we had to sit in a LONG Easter sunday service, then 9 kids were to be baptized after...UGH..i was dreading this, it was going to go right into nap time, no lunch..it was just a disaster in the making.

That morning Tino and I explained to her what was going to happen. When church started she was VERY interested in "GUY" (priest) who was on the alter. We said that "guys" is going to pour water on your head etc. The end of mass arrived and nobody was leaving..probably because 3/4 of the church was full of families of all the kids being baptized. We had about 10 mins of madness where...Her ponies got ripped out..asking to go night night etc but it soon passed and she just sat there until it was our turn. We made our way to the front of the church...she tipped her head back, he did his thing and she smiled and says..ohhh Wa wa! It was cute. After the priest then came over and poured and ENTIRE handfull of oil on her hair and rubbed it in.......needless to say, her hair stills smells like it!

Baptism success!!
