Hello Palo Alto!

We made it!! I will admit I was completely stressed out last night. Owen's portable oxygen concentrator was blinking and beeping red lights.. not good. Then I tried to do online check in for the rental car and they said our reservation was cancelled and that it would be double the price for a new reservation. It was a long night. :)

We left Phoenix as the sun came up. Owen's concentrator settled on a yellow blinking light and I'm assuming it was okay. Carson spoke face to face with the rental car company and they honored our original reservation. Everything fell into place, as it always does!

Owen chattered on the plane the entire 2 hour trip.. he just talked and talked. He fell asleep just as we were landing, which equates to no nap today. He loved his Dr Pepper, pretzels and peanuts. Kamryn was so quiet sitting next to Carson in the seat behind us.. we are SO trading places on the way home.

We ate lunch at the Palo Alto creamery and then stopped at Sprinkles on our way to the hotel. We not only got early check-in, but the oxygen was already delivered and ready. Awesome!

Owen is begging to go to the beach and that was the original plan, but it is freezing here!! I can't imagine how cold it's going to be at the beach. We are relaxing in our hotel room while we try to figure out if it's worth the drive.

Both of my kids favorite thing to do is sit at the hotel room desk and write notes on the free notepad. It's the first thing they do every time we check in. It gives me time to get things settled and organized. Owen is walking around the room with a handful of paper notes that Kamryn drew pictures on for him.
It's time for me to run to the store and get some food for Owen's blended foods. We have a busy few days ahead of us.

GIRL....all that would have stressed me out! I am so glad that the car rental worked out, the o2 machine stopped blinking red (the alarm didn't go off on the plane...did it??)...and you guys are settled.

Enjoy the cool weather...
you guys are already in my prayers.
