Dorazio's are in the air!


We're on our way! We left our house around 10 this morning, and hit the airport with plenty of time. The airline had us all sitting in different spots all over the airplane, and of course, with 2 kids, that wasn't going to work. Jack could probably handle it, but Luke . . . he's another story!

We worked it out, and had a nice flight to Atlanta. We landed in Atlanta at 6, and our flight to DC was leaving at 6:20, so we ran through the airport and both boys kept up, dragging their carryons behind them. (Mom-WE were not late, the airplane was late, making US late.) :)

We made it to a hotel with all 8 duffel bags and 4 large carryons. I haven't even had a chance to thank everyone who donated to the care centers to fill up our alloted baggage. Everyone was so generous. I can't wait to see all the kids enjoying all the necessities you donated. It is a lot of luggage to keep track of, but so worth it to get these things to the kids! I saw some baby clothes I might have to play dress up with the babies and take pictures for their parents waiting at home.

Tomorrow morning we leave at 10:45 am, for a 13 hour flight to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We have every 'i' electronic possible to keep us wildly entertained. We have an iMac, an iPhone, and an iPad. If that fails, we have 2 DSi's to play games until our hearts content. It's really kind of funny. To think, I had to grow up traveling back and forth to South America with just a Sony Walkman, listening to Debbie Gibson. Poor little me. :)

I'll have to post more pictures another time, we are staying at the world's slowest Hampton Inn near the airport, and it took forever to upload that first picture.

We're down to the countdown, and all of us are ready to get to the care center, open the door, and see S & Y. We are so excited for it to finally be here, and know that in just a realtively short time, everything in our family changes. I remember before Luke was born, getting a little teary thinking about how it wouldn't be just the 3 of us anymore. Now, I can't imagine my life without Luke. I think that's where we are tonight. Nothing will be the same after tomorrow, but it will be just what we need.

Only one more sleep S & Y, and Mommy & Daddy will be there! We're bringing your brothers, and they are crazy about you, and wanting to get off of airplanes and PLAY! Love you!
