Going back home

This little fella, Patric, being held by his mummi,

 and his big brother Luc,

 went home. Here they are with their mom and pops (grandpa) at the airport yesterday. There was some concern as to whether or not their flight was on time or even take off. It was delayed for over 20 minutes. Toronto experienced record rainfall and flooding the day before. It knocked the airport computers down but we got them there on time and surprisingly, the roads were not congested at all.

Laila received compliments from the flight attendant and other passengers on how well behaved Luc was and how adorable little Patric was. Everything was fine and Laila said it was because she was well organized.

Leaving with a gift

Both daughters have now left. Christmas in February went by quickly but was filled every day. Both girls got in some family time and some visiting with friends time. Avatar even made it on the list and there were eight of us that took in the 10:00 p.m. show. 
We brought Laila to the airport last Sunday morning and this morning we took Ayla to the airport.  She is on her way back to England as I write this.

That bag she has is her one carry-on luggage and I can attest to the fact that it was HEAVY.

 

Just making sure all the paperwork is here.

 

I asked Ayla if she wanted an Emma's Tree in a different colour than the Christmas one I made her and she said yes but she wanted it to go with her decor. She said her room was black and white - with red. The first one I cut up and put up for display was way too red so I cut some more black and white squares from the fat quarters that she selected and had her help to arrange them the way she wanted. It has a curtain ring hanger on the back so that she can hang it on her wall. I am currently working on a new bag for her but since she said there was no way that she could squeeze it in to her luggage, I didn't rush to finish it. When it's done, I will show the finished bag. She chose the fabric and the lining from my stash and all I had to buy was cording for the handle, a zipper and interfacing.
