Off We Go!!

We had a hard time saying goodbye to our temporary home at Grandma and Grandpa Cutler's house, but we were all excited to go!

Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Kimmy were all there to help us check in our 15 bags, 3 car seats, and one stroller. Rich had weighed each one with a bathroom scale and stuffed things in until they were 50 lbs. each. The woman at the counter was endlessly patient and helpful with us. After much to-do, we said goodbye and went through security with our 9 carry-on bags, only to realize we forgot the other stroller! Once we got on the plane, we had to wait an hour on the ground for clearance to go to Chicago, but luckily we had our bag of tricks to keep us busy!

Aunt Kimmy was a super-hero in helping us get ready to go. She made several trips to stores for odds and ends, and then got several fun pictures of family developed for us to take along to help us remember. We will sure miss her while she's on her mission!

Here's us in the Dallas airport super-excited to go!
