House Full of Joy
Oct. 15, 2009
leavin' on a jet plane...

So, my wonderful husband is making it possible for me to fly to the Midwest for my Grandpa's funeral.  He knows how important it is to me, so in spite of the fact that his birthday is this Saturday, he is encouraging me to go to the funeral.  He is staying with the children, taking off early on Friday so I can fly out earlier.  It is no small task for him to be with our kiddos, especially Charity, as she requires just a bit extra.  He will no doubt do beautifully, but I am quite sure he will be exhausted, and glad to see me return.  I am grateful that he is willing and excited about having all of this time with his children.  He is a very involved Daddy and loves to be with these wonderful little people. 

Speaking of them, I noticed a lot of whispering going on this morning.  I assumed that since my head was a little full and I was maybe a teensy bit grouchy yesterday, they were treading lightly, letting everybody know that Mommy was back to normal, but "be careful".  However, this wasn't the case.  They were planning a little surprise.  Knowing that I couldn't take any food or water through security with me, and knowing I'd be hungry, they each chipped in some money and wrote a nice card, telling me to enjoy a nice snack at the airport.  How about that?  I will definitely do that - Chloe told me to make sure it is nutritious :) 

I'll miss those guys and wish it was  possible to bring them all along with me, but since it isn't, I am grateful for my husband, who will watch over them.

What a great family you have! And Will is so supportive! Sigh....
We were able to carry food and snacks through security, but no bottles of liquid. So you can stuff some granola bars in corners, if you like.
Glad you have such a supportive family!
