We'll laugh about how a motel room that would be cramped for 3 got us
through the night. (Barely.)
And we will chuckle about how even though we thought we'd done a
practice run for our early morning plan of me dropping J, kids, and
luggage off at the check in counter, then me returning the rental car
and meeting them at ticketing, Gina fouled that up for us and I ended
up on a 15 km wild goose chase.
And I am sure I'll be able to laugh about running through the
Frankfurt airport trying to find my family having flashbacks about
losing my mom and missing my flight in the Honolulu airport 15 years
ago. (Mom- red crocs are easier to run in than gold flip flops, FYI)
Someday it might be funny that an 11 hour flight feels like slow
torture.
It will be a while, but I just know we will laugh about C spilling an
ENTIRE cup of very sticky orange juice on himself, J, and I about 3
hours into the 11 hour flight. I of course had extra clothes...for C!
In reality though, we will probably laugh about a lot of this stuff
once we are home, in clean clothes! The car got returned, we made our
flight, the kids have been awesome on the plane, and we are pleasantly
surprised how quickly orange juice dries. It could be worse...

You are amazing. Be honest--did a few teeny tiny cuss words come out of your mouth?! Ha! Ha! :)
Wow, Sarri! I promise I won't laugh about any of it until you give the go-ahead. ;) Love you and thinking of you.
The kids at school are crazy with excitement for the "return of Maddy", they are thrilled! We are hoping she will show up on Friday, but we understand jet lag and can wait until Monday. Maddy must know I will NOT be school on Friday and I am sooooooo sad! But the kids all know the gender of the baby and the name...so she can hear from them first hand if I am not there...or you can tell her we are having a boy and his name is going to be Zachary Robert. Wishing you all a safe and happy return, sans OJ.

Aw, but it wouldn't be international travel if it weren't stressful, would it?!! Safe return home! *hugs*
