Tonight we took our three older kids to see Hamilton. For the last couple years our kids have enjoyed the soundtrack to the musical. I think I was watching our kids faces more than the actual play. Most of the time they were rapt with attention. During the songs they knew their mouths would hang open. Towards the end it was proving difficult for our youngest of the kids we took, our third child. Last night my wonderful sister in law helped fold 5 loads of the kids laundry. We have a few more loads to wash before we start concentrating on packing our luggage.
It’s still hard to believe a week from now we will he descending in an airplane on our way to our new home. It still seems so surreal. So far I got a haircut, and our house isn’t a total mess. Not a whole lot to blog about today, but at least my nerves are at an all time high. I have dozens of items I need to deal with before we fly out, and a final date night to look forward to this Friday.
Now I am getting questions like “are you ready?” and the only real answer is “no”. I don’t think our family can be ready for such a huge change this will be. Frankly, I don’t think we’ll be ready for this trip until we are on the flight home in six months.
