Arriving soon???


Sorry to all who are anxiously awaiting news (Netts) and the other 6 people who read this blog! At this point, we are more concerned about dad's arrival than little miss. He was supposed to come in last night and didn't come and didn't call. Thanks to the internet and 1-800# we were able to figure out that his flight in Toronto was cancelled and that he is on standby for 3 flights today and booked on a flight tomorow in case he can't make one today. We had 3 pretty frantic homes last night, mom and us here in Texas, Andrew home alone in Saskatoon and Jen. Apparently dad is not concerned, or the phones were all down or busy or all his fingers were sprained in a freak luggage accident making it impossible for him to dial a number. We are praying all is well and that he makes it soon, but were relieved at least to figure out he wasn't either lost in Dallas, or on the backroads of Texas or worse. He doesn't have his cell phone and maybe he forgot there are pay phones in the world.

It's amazing how dependent we so easily became on cell phones. Brian and I used to have a cell each and now don't have any. We were wondering how he was going to find mom in the airport, but at least she had a phone. We forget so easy how to communicate before hand or use other means. Can you imagine what it was like before even land phones existed?

So, little miss has to wait a little bit still so that dad won't miss the excitement, that is of course supposing that this mystery travellers whereabouts excitement doesn't send me into labor!! Nothing yet, we'll keep you updated ;)

I shouldn't laugh because I can imagine the worry and panic that would cause. But I did laugh a little...because I know this is something my Ian would do. He often causes me unnecessary worry and doesn't understand how much a simple call would help. Communication seems like it should be so easy but often seems unnecessarily difficult! Hope Ian arrives safely soon...and your precious girl also!

ironies:

- Ian is actually farther away from us now than if he stayed in Saskatoon

- Had Ian driven to TX from Sask, he would have been here a long time ago...

Hope he got some rest last night.
