| Jonathan was the driver who helped drop us off. The kids are in their ride-on carry-ons, which were a HUGE hit in both airports! Left to right: Marcie, David, Isaac behind, Gracie, Will and Seth. |

| With Isaac this time. Gracie's shirt says "So many bows, so little hair." Marcie's says, "I'm the wild one." Oh wow, was that true on the airplane! She was wriggling her way between the seats and wall to get to the row behind her. She also wanted to wander the aisles when she was so unsteady with exhaustion she couldn't stay on her feet! |
 |
| Killing time while Gavin tried to make extra seats around us. We ended up having five rows to ourselves, although the hour-and-a-half-longeffort Gavin put into it at the ticket counter wasn't directly fruitful. (It's complicated.) |

| Hanging out with my parents one last time. Dear Dee was a huge help, as were Ray, Deb and our other helper the WHOLE way! |
 |
| Deb and Russ with David and Seth. Thanks, Russ, for loaning us your wife for so long! |

What a production! I love the ride-on carry-ons! Brilliant. So excited for you all!
ReplyDeleteAm I going to follow the details of these quints lives for the rest of my life...yes! As long as I am able. I look forward to every post, and am amazed at the amount of pictures you take for us all to "live" with you in all the events of your lives. Your positive outlook on life is such a blessing, even in the hard times. Keep looking up to Jesus! There is no one like Him and I hope many are affected as you serve His mission on this earth. I wonder if those carry-on seats were made special for your quints? Not that I expect an answer, but sometimes we will have unanswered questions until we meet you someday...here or there :)
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for quite awhile and loved this post! My daughter, son in law and their 4 kids are leaving for the mission field this fall and have a loooong flight ahead of them. I asked her about the ride on/carry on and promptly bought 2 for their 1 year old and very petite 3 year old. I love being able to help them with their journey, even though I can't go along. Very excited for all of you to be back in PNG....God bless you all!
