They're Here...

And they brought the snow with them! After having been snowed in at O'Hare for 2 hours, sitting patiently on the plane and being entertained by a witty air steward - an anomaly from your typical service on United Airlines, which is CR%#! - Yen and the little one managed to finally touch down at Logan at around 2100hrs Saturday evening. She called out "MUMEEEEEEEEE!!!!" from the top of the escalator but had to patiently wait til it brought her down before running into my arms and jumping into them. She looked different from when I last saw her on the day I left 3.5 mths ago. Very much more grown up and taller!.
Yen was dressed smartly in a collared shirt, a pullover sweater and a suede jacket. Quite 'ang moh' styled...and he told me he was almost upgraded to business class during the Sing-HK leg due to his dressing. Unfortunately, that didn't work out after all.

Boston's never been this cold since I got here. So they're experiencing the worst weather so far, which is probably a good thing as it prepares them for winter. Meg and I went to church this morning and she started off the journey by saying, "It's ok mummy, I like the cold, I can 'tahan'", and by the time we were on our way back, it became, "Boston is Vvvvvery cold, mummy! I'm so cold, CARRY!!!!!" Aiyoh...luckily her weight is still pretty manageable enough to carry, but I refused to carry her all the way and asked her to just walk fast.

I was lamenting my loss of total freedom just a day before they arrived, and while that kind of situation will probably never come by again, I'm loving having them here. As I type, my husband is still sleeping, and has been for the last 17hrs! Meg has been asleep for the last 3.5hrs and while we were all sleeping, the snow decided to fall but we missed everything! Here's what it looks like...freshly made...
