Lauren you are the best storyteller! Please write a book someday! I have been that parent with that baby on a flight too. It was when we went with William to visit Tiff in Paris. Screaming baby with pilots trying to sleep between shifts. I just knew if the plane crashed because the pilots hadn’t slept that was all on me and my terrible mommy skills. I think it is the most stressed out I have ever been as a mommy, even more than when my kids have been really, really sick. That tells you something about what kind of mommy I am, yikes! But, the good thing is that we all have these mommy stories and now we mostly never, mostly ever judge other mommies with screaming babies:)

I heard parts of this story during your stay but reading it in one edited short story form really makes me understand your trials and challenges on the plane ride home. Poor Josh…he looks so tired even in first class! Thank you all for being willing to make this long trip home to spend time with us at our little annual Beach Retreat. You “complete” the vacation and it wouldn’t have been the same without you. But you paid a huge price in many ways and I love you for being willing to do so. I loved your last paragraph the most—so spiritual. But then your last sentence is pretty hilarious! In the future, we will be expecting you to depart and arrive during the day time hours!!! Love you and Josh for being such amazing, patient, Bingley-like parents!!! You inspire me!
