Well, I made here to good ol' Michigan. Isabelle and I left on Wednesday evening on a non stop flight and made it in record time. The plane actually left a few minutes early and we landed about 20 minutes early. Isabelle did great on the plane! I was able to snag a seat with no one sitting next to me and that helped out a lot. The man who was sitting in the same row and us was also very nice and understanding. There were two ladies behind us who just ate up Isabelle and all of the cute things she does. They played peak a boo with her and even held here while I went to the bathroom. I couldn't have asked for a better flight.
Laura was still up when we got to the house. We had a snack and then we all went to bed, since was nearly 4 am (with the time change and all). She showed us our new room that they have been working on for months now and it is beautiful. It doesn't even look like the same room. They did a great job. It feels like my own little space which is nice seeing as how I am going to be here for a little while.
I forgot how humid it gets here in the mid west. I feel like I need to take a shower all the time. It doesn't help to have a baby who wants to be held half the time either. I think we are going to set up the little pool that Dan got her tomorrow so hopefully that will help a little. Matthew is so excited to have Isabelle here. They played ball tonight and they both had a blast. I didn't get any pictures of it but she was clapping and having a gay ol' time.
I miss Josh. I know he is only a few more days behind me but still I wish he was here. Especially, since it still kinda feels like this is his family. Things are better between us all but I still have that feeling. So far I have only gotten one "slap on the wrist" from Laura about my parenting skills. I guess it could be worse. I just need to let it roll off my back but it still stings a little. I don't have a mom and in some ways I look to her for encouragement not criticism.
Well, I should get to bed. I am still trying to get Isabelle back on schedule. With the 3 hour time difference it has taken a few days. She had a bit of a rough night so hopefully tonight will be better.

I am sooo glad that you two made it safely there. I was happy to hear that you had a good flight as well. That helps thing out especially with having a little one on the flight with you. It is nice they made a room up just right for you too. Hang in there. It will get better soon and hopefully the time will go by fast. I do understand when you said it still feels like it is just his family...I still feel the same way with Johnathan's side of the family even after 6 years of marriage. Just hang in there. I am thinking of you.
