*Elyas passed out at the airport*

Today was a long day sitting in the airport in NYC. Our plane got into NYC just after 630am, and we didn't fly out until 930pm. After flying in on a red eye in which neither Ali nor I got much more than an hour's sleep. Leila slept for several hours in the morning in the stroller, and Elyas took a nap after a while, slept for four hours there at JFK. The worst part of the day was when we got off the plane and went down to baggage claim. Both the kids were convinced that we were going to be picked up by Grandma there at the airport, just as we had been at SeaTac. Later Elyas thought he saw Grandpa in the crowd and was saddened again. Poor kiddos, it's enough to break a mother's heart.
