Well We're Off

Tonight we had a great pre-Thanksgiving meal with Mom and Dad and a early happy birthday to me, and then I put E to bed and read him one of his early favorites, Goodnight Moon.  It was a wonderful sendoff.

E cried and said he would miss us but I told him Nannie would have a treasure bag for him to hunt for every day we're gone (thanks Mandy for that idea).  Such a bittersweet time.  He's four but it seems like he's fourteen.  I feel so strongly and sadly that I'm leaving my baby and coming back to a little boy.

On this Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for my family, their love and support, and sweet E kisses.  Looking forward to meeting Trey on my birthday and Rosalee a few days after that.

It's been an insane three week scramble getting ready for our "trip of a lifetime" as my brother said.  I'm actually looking forward to the fourteen hour plane ride if for nothing other than a chance to rest.  And now we're off to bed.

Goodnight stars, goodnight air.  Goodnight noises everywhere.
