Off

So, our friends got off on the plane this morning.
We were lounging through the morning, at 7:30 am lounge is all I have energy for. At 8:20 the phone rings- which is usually scandalous around here with Daddy (and usually us) sleeping. It's the other wife/mom out at Hidden Falls (did you notice the 'the other' as in only 1- she's very excited for Christiana to get there). She had recieved a call from the little airlines trying to find out where Christiana was staying. Well, Jackie (the other mom) used to be neighbors/friends with my friend KC and though we never got together much, they knew Christiana was staying with us (husband grapevine). So she'd called KC to get my number to let us know that the plane was scheduled to leave Sitka at 9 ish. We needed to be there like NOW! Thank you Thank you Thank you Jackie!!!! Although I'd love my friend to stay, she's in need of a huge break and some time with her husband! So after the intial scramble, getting everyone and everything into the truck, and then unloading everyone and everything once we get to the airline, and then the kids demanding snacks from the vending machines... well, the little Beaver showed up at 9 ish, and they were loaded and ariborne by 9:20. Shane tried to walk out the door with them. Although he seemed to understand that they were going to see Tristan's Daddy in their new house, the first thing he said when we got home was "I want to go see Tristan's house too." poor monkey. Maybe now it won't be such a fight to get him to go to school- there won't be a Tristan temptation to ditch.
