5 am activities

It was a very smooth airport run this morning with a few tender mercies; no traffic, parking right next to the elevators, three luggage carts just waiting for our use, no line at the check-in counter, and two very compliant boys.

This is rather remarkable because it took both the Tahoo and the Matrix with seats folded down to stow all 8 check in bags, 4 carry-on bags, 4 personal item bags, 2 car seats, and a stroller - and let us not forget the passengers.

It looks a bit frantic, but it really wasn't. We took a handful of pens so that all 4 adults could fill out luggage tags - so efficient!


Janae sorted out the the carry-ons. It still took 2 luggage carts to get them to security.

These two will soon be ditching their sweatshirts. There will be little need in Florida or on St. Kitt's. Janae and I decided that it will much simpler to send them on missions!

The medical school adventure has officially begun. It took some big time prep! Our prayers go with them!

(Notice those camo shorts and Crocs. They did not get to go to St. Kitt's. NOT allowed on the island. The squirt guns didn't get to go either :)

Man, if that did not bring a tear and some pretty tender feelings in my heart, can't imagine what you are feeling. Future stuff is always so bittersweet.

The hardest part, for sure, was getting the carry-ons and car seat on and off the plane. Whew!

Now on to the next step, the barrel shipment!

Oh I feel their pain! I hope they get settled and everything makes it with them! We moved to ST. Maarten 3 years ago Dec. 28! WOW, I'm glad I'm through that phase of MD school! What great adventures Janae and family have in store!
