Travel woes

So Tim is stuck in Chicago. His boss (well technically his former boss) scheduled a two day "team meeting" in Chicago that ended this afternoon at 4p ct (who the eff schedules a meeting on FRIDAY until 4p out of town?!?!?). It has been miserably hot and rain free for days -- both here & in Chicago. But of course, just as he is getting to the airport a HUGE storm blows through, thus delaying everything at O'Hare (who are we kidding, a sunny clear day can back up everything at that darn airport). I talked to him at 7p my time and his flight was delayed an hour. He texts me at 8:45 my time as I'm putting the babies to bed and he was on the plane. He called at 9p and turns out another plane ran off the runway at O'Hare and now no flights are getting in and there is only one runway. The crew for his flight was now being diverted to Rockford (like at LEAST an hour drive away) and they were going to drive into Chicago. So people were given the choice to stay on & see what happens or get off the flight. Tim chose wisely because as soon as he got off the plane they cancelled the flight and the lines of peeps at the Customer Service counter swarmed. Yeah, the earliest flight he can get on to C-bus is tomorrow night at NINE PM!! So right now he is (hopefully) on a flight to Akron-Canton and he'll pay his parents a visit overnight. B & K & I will road trip it up to meet him half-way tomorrow. We'll keep our fingers crossed . . . man, we have the WORST luck at traveling!!

In other news, B & K are finally on the mend. Kendyll still hasn't been sleeping well this week, but part of the problem is because she hasn't been eating well. Bennett has learned how to hold on to things and he's all about figuring out how to get them into his mouth. They haven't been much into posing for pictures this week, but here are two I snapped tonight.
