Coming Home
I could have mentioned, but forgot on the 23rd that we have secured our homecoming date - March 3, 2006!
We have some work to do before then. This afternoon someone from a moving company will come to take a survey of the belongings we want to move. (Today also includes my 6-week check up, someone coming to get our christmas tree for fire wood and visitors this evening.) We have to sell off a bunch of stuff and find out where to dump the stuff we’re tossing. Then we’ll have to pack in our suitcases what we want to take home on the plane and move into an Opera apartment for maybe a week before we leave. Then we will probably get a hotel room near the airport the night before.
Sara Ellen will probably be attached most of the flight home and then we’ll have a welcoming party of Tim’s Dad, StepMom Jan and StepSis JP. Jan said she’s making banners 
and JP said she has Christmas presents she decided not to mail so we wouldn’t have to pack them up again. As my family was just here, and we’ll need car space for luggage, probably just one member of my family will come to collect us. Tim’s mom is coming to visit at the end of this month. I’m not sure when Corri will meet her niece. We will be staying with my family until we get our own place. Sometime soon after we return we’ll visit with those of you we haven’t seen for so long and who have not yet met Sara Ellen. All three of us will have to get reaquainted with Eastern Standard Time.
Although as Emily pointed out to me, TWO of you will get reacquainted with EST while ONE of you will get acquainted
