Leavin' on a Jet Plane

Well- the time has arrived. In 13 hours we will leave our house to go to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to depart for the US. After 2 years, we are headed home for a short visit to see family and take care of some business. The kids are a mixture of both sadness and excitement. They spent the last 2 days hanging out with friends. Today we are home finishing some last minute details. That includes spending quality time with their pets. Sargent Will and Private Maggie have been fighting the enemy out in the backyard while Emily has snuggled with Swirl. Will (and the rest of us) will miss Maggie, but not as much as she will probably miss us. In a little while, the kids and I are going to head to the pool to cool off and kill some time. Then we will have an early night to try and get some sleep before heading to the airport at 2:30. I think we will probably be too excited to get much sleep!
