November 13, 2007

We managed to somehow fit a million suitcases in our car that day. Don't ask me how Ken made it happen. It was something that we probably should have attempted prior to the morning we headed to Denver. We even put a suitcase in Elle's carseat which was already belted in, but we knew that it would have to be somewhere else on our return. She would need to be strapped in the seat instead of the luggage being there.

We made our way to Denver, had supper with Rodger, and then, returned to the hotel where we watched YouTube videos of Achmed, the Dead Terrorist. We were all excited, but very nervous too. The boys had never been on an airplane before. We wondered what this little girl was going to be like. We thought of all the things we were going to miss at home during our two week long trip. We worried about paperwork, documents, deadlines, appointments, schedules, language barriers, flight times, luggage getting lost, the weather, etc. The boys were concerned about food and what things they would be eating. We could have NEVER fathomed how much our lives were going to change. It was only the beginning of our journey to bring E home!
