Headed towards check in on Monday morning.... we've got five potential luggage cart pushers (Luke and JP are desperate to push those carts but it's just not a wise-safe-viable option for now!)
And we are B-I-G fans of the buddy system. A big plus a little makes a whole lot of sense! There isn't a long-term pairing for buddies, usually we'll just pick for the day. And they really get into the buddy thing - often with a buddy cheer, a name for their pairing, everything. It's pretty awesome.
Monday it was Julianna helping with the luggage, Isaac + Luke and Lydia + John Paul. We were traveling pretty heavy this time around so Matt and I had luggage carts too :)
On the plane we don't sit according to the buddy system. We sit where Mama tells us to sit :)
I almost always choose seats so that we have at least one aisle-window pairing with an empty seat in the middle. If the empty seat gets a passenger then we can swap around, but if the empty seat stays empty.... :) This time Lydia and Isaac were debating whether they should swap for aisle-middle or middle-window when the cabin door closed and they realized they had the entire row to themselves.
[I was between Jul and Luke, Matt with JP across the aisle from Julianna.]
Friends picked us up (in two vehicles to help with luggage - including the person who borrowed our car all summer!) and we were home.
with a welcoming committee!
Our house looked like the day we left.... i'm so grateful, especially because different people were in and out of it all summer....
We hit the ground running. Today I planned like crazy - we start homeschool on Monday! And Matt's on the road a bit this weekend and students are rolling into town and I even managed to serve three meals at home today!
This is Home.
