Adventures in the States, Part 3 - Getting used to each other

During the last few days and weeks both we and the 'babies' had to get used to new situations and partly new people (long seen relatives), which means that though we have great times together, sometimes we become exhausted by the end of the day. Apparently, not just us, 'big ones', but the 'little ones', too.

Wanna see the evidence?:)

This cute angelic and mischievous smile might hold a hidden meaning (parents know...;))

though the toy bug on his head seems to function as a gloria

even the sweetest smile and the shiniest gloria cannot cover the truth that 'My parents (and grandparents and aunts:)) are exhausted'.

Oh no...what did you say? ME exhausting mommy and daddy?! CABEL??!! SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE! (with the typical Caleb 'oh no'-face) :)

Well, it could be...but

see, not only the parents but also the children are getting exhausted of the adults (I wonder why...)

since they attempt to attain a few calm minutes by sleeping peacefully and deeply in the midst of the day

Here are the sleeping beauties tired of the bunch of relatives

Still. no worry: as the Sun rises, Caleb will call out 'light Mommy, light!', Ariana will continue training her lungs and life will not cease to be lively in the house...;)

At least, until the Sun sets again.

Adventures in the States, Part 2- The birth of Ariana

On the 6th of July I have become an auntie for the third time, thanks to Ariana Thalia:)

Here are some pictures of my cute and loveable little niece :)



In the hospital,



where life wasn't that happy yet...



though the pacifier made things a bit easier.



I said: 'a bit'. Only for a few minutes...



however, now that she is home she really seems to insist on her pacifier,



since she puts it into and gets it out of her little mouth by own choice



and even poses with it when looking straight into the camera.



She also likes to hold on fingers



but primarily, yeah, she indubitably loves to be with her brand new Auntie:)

Adventures in the States - Part I

I don't really have the time nowadays to write about all my experiences happening to us in the States, but those who remained at home might be interested in it. Therefore, let me entertain you with a series of photos, just to allow a little insight into our everydays.

This First Part will be about our adventurous flight. The other parts are not yet decided, though I have the strong feeling much of it will be about Caleb, Natalia and Ariana:).

After at least 5 hours waiting at the airport, finally we are looking forward to the take-off in the airplane itself.

Success! 2 hours delay resulted in leaving Hungary around 15.30 pm (instead of our scheduled time 13.15 pm)

Though we always fly by Boeing 747s, I have never seen such a long airplane wing before...

The cotton-like stuff beneath us seems to be snow, but actually, it is cloud, of course

The temperature must be freezing cold up here: estimations talk about minus 50-60 Celsius degrees. See the frost flowers on the window?

Oh-oh, this one looks like a big shothole...I hope there are no terrorists on THIS plane...

We saw awesome clouds resembling to snow...

...and rivers reflecting sunshine...

and clouds that were blinding us with their whiteness.

Nearing JFK airport due to heavy storms we were ordered to slow down in the air and to make a diversion which resulted in subsequent delays

However, by 19.40, being weary though, we managed to get out from the transit area and start our stay in America.

to be continued...
