This morning, Bonnie was still out of sorts and Danny was struggling with asthma so we did not go out on visitation today.  We just stayed home and worked on preparation to go get Laura from the airport tomorrow.  
We basically just cleaned the house and did laundry all day.  The kids did play outside this morning a little while.  I have had to do Danny's nebulizer three times today.  Poor little guy!  I think everyone is going into mom withdraws!

Laura left OKC on time and flew to Chicago.  In Chicago she had 45 minutes to get to her next plane which is bound for Frankfurt, Germany.  I sure hope she hustled to make that plane.  I suppose she did because we have not heard from her since she left OKC.  In Frankfurt she will catch a plane to Accra.  We will leave right after church tomorrow and head to Accra.  We should get there about the same time as she does, if all goes well!

The kids have packed and then repacked their backpacks several times!  It is so funny the things that they think they can't live without for the day we are going to be gone.

We are all packed.  I am sure that we are going to forget something!  Oh well!  Laura is not here and she is the organized one.  She would make a list and check it twice.  Me, I just wing it and hope we get it right.  If not, we can make it!  We are only going to be gone one day!

We are supposed to meet some other missionaries in Accra for lunch on Monday.  Then we have to hustle home because Tuesday is Bonnie's last day of school and her end-of -the-year program!  No one will want to miss that!  We will try to video it so that others can enjoy as well.

Nantsew yie!
