We made it – phew! My mom came over at 2:30 and made us dinner (bless you Momma!!) while I finalized our packing and Eric tried to feel better. Poor guy has an ear infection, but hopefully his new meds will help.
Our plane was 20 minutes late, but we considered ourselves lucky after spending time with a family from Alaska who’s flight was 2 hours later!! Those kids were hyped up and stuck! The girl kept saying “Hey guy-with-computer, watch me!” lol And, of course, he did! Eric and I taught her to do pushups (something we do with our boys when they have too much energy) and timed her on picking up her toys. She was a good girl, but waaaaay too active for that small a space. I felt so bad for them. I felt even worse when I talked to the mom and she was so sad to be going home. It’s a long story, and I don’t even know her name, but I hope having a chance to talk to someone helped her!
Our flight was uneventful – PTL! As we took off I realized what we were doing…where we were going…and why. I started to cry. It was pretty overwhelming.
Arriving at PDX, getting our car (and upgraded for free to a Toyota 4 Runner – Eric is in love!), and getting out hotel couldn’t have been simpler! Everyone has been very friendly and a blessing today!
Eric talked to the boys – who are hanging with my mom while we are gone – and they sounded happy. They want souvenirs from Oregon. So we are hoping to find something for each of them as a memory.
Tomorrow morning we are meeting the caseworker, foster family and JGirl … not sure how I’ll possibly sleep tonight! But morning will come sooner than I’m ready for it – so I’d better try!
I’ll write more tomorrow! Good night!!
