36 Hours and counting..

Well, we leave in 36 hours. Jess has been working all day on packing, and you can see from the picture that there are still a number of things to decide on. But she made great progress today, and I had Josh Williams over to learn about taking care of the yard while we are away.

The next challenge is Lufthansa. I've called eight times, trying to get our seats figured out for the flights. Since we are travelling with such young children, being able to "corner" the younger ones is crucial. And sitting together is paramount!

Well, my stress level went through the roof when I saw that we'd be sitting in 32F, 33F, 34F, etc. You get the drift. Clearly ridiculous. How annoying! I have record of good seats they gave me at one point, but now the CheckMyTrip.com website is reporting no seats assigned! So we are praying that the Lord will take care of the seating, and we'll just try to get to the airport a bit sooner.

Hope you got there safely and sanely. Maybe the seating is suppose to be the way it is, do what we would do, when any one of your childred cry or misbehaves, act like they're not your kids and just start looking around for "their parents", it works every time for us! =) Love you guys! William
