Hello ladies, hope all is good with you all....Steve & Kayleigh

From Plant City, Florida, USA to Manchester, England, UK.

So our flight was delayed 5 hours from Orlando (MCO), fortunately they called just before we were ready to leave the house so instead we stuck around till close to 9.30pm when Andrew picked us up and ran us to the airport. At least with the delays check in was easy as there was no one else in line. The flight finaly left at around 2.30am about 6 hours late. Kales was super good and played for the first hour or so and then had a nap for about 5 hours which was great, I actually fell asleep for 4 or so. I woke up around 2 hours from Manchester.

When we got into Manchester Derek and Anne were waiting for us and Kayleigh was very excited to see them again.

So here we are in sunny Tyldesley, yesterday it was sunny and today it has been raining since we woke up. We both slept pretty good and got up this morning at 9.30am local time..... 4.30am Florida time... Hoping Kales will take a nap soon.

That's all for now

Here are some pictures of my little international traveler :-)

these are so beautiful!  It brings tears to my eyes knowing Erin is not here with us physically.  You are such an awesome father, did I ever tell you how much I love hearing from you and Kayleigh?  Please keep up with us, I think I speak for many, hearing from you and Kayleigh is a breathe of fresh air

Steve and Kales,

The pics are fantastic and I especially love the one where Kayleigh has the headphones on!  I'm originally a Yorkshire lass myself, but know Manchester very well - it's certainly changed over the last 10 years or so!

I hope you and Kales have a wonderful time there and LuAnn is right, it's wonderful to hear from you both.  We miss Erin terribly here and I think of you both often.

Love the sweet pic with the teddy bear and her passie.  Thanks for sharing your daughter. 

The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

Kayleigh is soooo adorable - I think my favorite photo is the one with her wearing the headphones with her pacifier ... or the one with her sleeping with her bear.  I hope you're both having a fabulous trip  and visit with Derek and Anne.  

Thank you soooo much for continuing to share photos with us ....

Steve, just mostly read your threads but I gotta say you have one CUTE KID.  Her pictures always make me smile.  I think at times feel like maybe a psuedo cyber aunt and hope you will always share.
