I think we all see the end of school this year as a big milestone as it marks the beginning of the one month countdown until we return home to Chicago for the month of July. We are all starting to get really excited. Ok, excited about Chicago, not excited about Halie and the 24 hours on the plane. You see Halie has taken to being a screamer.....a happy screamer that is. She does nothing quietly. So you can imagine that our anxiety levels are inching up every day as we contemplate being in business class in a dark cabin for at least 12 hours of the flight while people try to sleep and we have a screaming toddler near them preventing them from sleeping. I have heard good things about essential oils to help calm kids on planes so I plan to do some investigating!
In other news, Monday marks the last trip before our home leave that I know of. Its a 4 day return trip to Dubai. However, after being in London for a week and just getting home last evening I can tell you that another 7 hour plane trip and 5 hour time difference is not sounding so good at the moment. All things will come to an end though and we will be even closer to Chicago when I get home!
In final news, the mail arrived today and we learned that Dannette made honor roll for the second semester! Not bad for a kid who has been through three schools and two continents in the course of one school year! We are of course, very proud! She of course, thinks I am insane for photographing her with the honor roll certificate. We parents need to embarass them some days I figure :)
