Packing, once again...

Early tomorrow afternoon, we are planning on boarding a plane and heading to the capital city! We just finished packing, and I think we are pretty much ready to go. It has been a busy week, as we worked down our to-do list, but a good one as well. We really wish we did not have to be leaving right now, yet at the same time, we know that this is what we are to do. We are already looking forward to when we can return... as a family of 5! :D

I must say though, we are really looking forward to seeing family and friends in Germany again. Aria and Nina remember everyone and are jumping up and down with excitement at the thought of getting on an airplane tomorrow. Whenever we talk about 'the airplane', I tell them that it will be lots of fun. I tell them that they can sit quietly, eat gummie bears, read books, and even go to sleep! They then smile and excitingly say, "yes mommy, we'll sleep"! (Hopefully they will!)

We'd appreciate your thoughts as we begin our travels tomorrow. Thankfully, since we've been here, there is now a direct flight that goes from Kyzyl to the capital. It will take us about 7 hours though, as we will be stopping and refueling somewhere about half way there. We are planning on spending a night in the capital before flying out early Tuesday morning for Germany. We'd appreciate your thoughts for safety as we travel and that the girls will enjoy it and yes... even sleep! :D We are also asking him for good health through all the changes, and that the girls will adjust quickly and easily once again. Honestly, tonight I was in tears as I was once again packing our suitcases. I so badly would like to just 'stay put' for a while, and I am really tired of packing! But, I could also be a little bit more emotional as I am so exhausted. (I've never had to clean and pack-up being pregnant before!) We definitely need his strength!

I'm not sure when we'll be able to update this blog once we get to Germany. But hopefully it will be before too long. Thanks for caring about us!
