On the way...

Well, actually that's not entirely true. We are actually OUT of our way. We are sitting in the JFK airport. Does that make any sense to anyone? Not to me. We had to fly from RDU to JFK (in NY) to fly to Haiti... Well, actually we didn't have to, but it saved us about $200. I am starting to rethink the wisdom of that decision. Traveling by air with three little ones keeps you on your toes!

Many thanks to Kris L. for getting up VERY early to drive us to the airport. We took her big ole SUV and rode in style and comfort. (We had to leave our house at 4AM, so she got there about 3:45AM-- that's a TRUE friend!)

The kids are doing pretty well-- Nia's kind of antsy, but that's mostly because she's tired. We had to get the kids up really early (obviously) and she was so excited she didn't fall asleep until at least 9:30. We had put the kiddos to bed at 7 PM last night but we heard Nia talking in there for a long time.

Okay, I have to share this funny story. This morning I was putting a ponytail in Nia's hair and she said, "Mom, did you know that Grandma is like Daddy." And I said, "What do you mean?" and she said, "Daddy can't do a ponytail either." :)

So in case you are wondering how we are doing with all our kids and all our gack-- here's your answer-- Nick's a pack mule. Just so you know, I DID offer several times to carry/manage some of the stuff/kids, but e's pretty willing to lug it all around. I have some funny pics but can't seem to upload them...
