Today’s the day! We finished packing last night and had a very nice, leisurely morning with the kiddos. We walked to Duncan Donuts for breakfast with the dog in tow.  We picked up some tums for pastor Alex. 

Thanks to Laura’s amazing organizational skills and planning, we were ready to roll out by 11 to drop the older kids off with Ellen and Grammy.  After a quick pizza and Diet Coke lunch courtesy of El, we headed for BWI to wait for first leg of the trip.  We were there more than 2 hours early so we had a nice little break to let Cora burn off some energy.

The flight from DC to JFK was only 30 minutes. That is still shocking somehow. But the best part of the trip so far is that we made the short connection at JFK!  And, thanks to Cora, we were even the first to board. That was a real blessing. 

We’ve boarded Delta 414 for the flight to Madrid. Cora is suspiciously awake and rambunctious. I hope this is not a bad omen. 🙂

What will God do and show us on this trip? We’re so excited to find out! Please pray for us.
