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.<\/p>\n<p>Our plane was 20 minutes late, but we considered ourselves lucky after spending time with a family from Alaska  who&#8217;s flight was 2 hours later!!  Those kids were hyped up and stuck!  The girl kept saying &#8220;Hey guy-with-computer, watch me!&#8221; 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&#8217;s a long story, and I don&#8217;t even know her name, but I hope having a chance to talk to someone helped her!<\/p>\n<p>Our flight was uneventful &#8211; PTL!  As we took off I realized what we were doing&#8230;where we were going&#8230;and why.  I started to cry.  It was pretty overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at PDX, getting our car (and upgraded for free to a Toyota 4 Runner &#8211; Eric is in love!), and getting out hotel couldn&#8217;t have been simpler!  Everyone has been very friendly and a blessing today!<\/p>\n<p>Eric talked to the boys &#8211; who are hanging with my mom while we are gone &#8211; and they sounded happy.  They want souvenirs from Oregon.  So we are hoping to find something for each of them as a memory.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow morning we are meeting the caseworker, foster family and JGirl &#8230; not sure how I&#8217;ll possibly sleep tonight!  But morning will come sooner than I&#8217;m ready for it &#8211; so I&#8217;d better try!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll write more tomorrow!
