heading home

We weren't supposed to be going home until December 4th, but a combination of things including the fact that Benjamin is STILL sick, 2 weeks after we got here, have made us decide to cancel the last half of our trip and our plans to travel to Austin, TX and Searcy, AR, and head home as soon as we can figure out a good flight to go on. Frederic will be calling a friend at work today to get stats on the flights and see when will be the best time to go.

Benjamin has had a fever and been up screaming for hours many nights, and we didn't think that lack of sleep + driving long hours was a good combination.

We're not looking forward to the flight back, but do have some Benadryl .... we are not sure they will allow us to take it on the plane since it is more than 3 oz, though.

We took a grand total of 15 pictures since we have been here, as witness to how unenjoyable the trip has been - this is an all-time record low for us for the number of photos taken during a trip.

Here are two of Benjamin:

Oh, Alisa -- I am so sorry that you are having to leave so soon and that Benjamin hasn't gotten any better. How miserable!!! We'll pray that you'll find a flight quickly and that it will be a smooth trip.

Alisa, for your sake, I hope the Benadryl works! I hope you have a safe...and quiet...trip home. Wish we could have seen you, but I know you (and Benjamin) will be glad to get back home. Take care of yourself!
