Christian and Toree

Just wanted to let everyone know that Christian and Toree flew out to San Antonio this evening. I will skip the drama and just say that I was able to get gate passes for the younger three to take Christian and Toree to their gate because we were done dirty at the check-in counter. It was the first time that the younger kids got to go to the airport and go through the security check points. They all did so well, too. They had to hold their own gate passes and answer questions that the security people asked them all by themselves ... even little Morgan Haley! I've never once had security ask me or Christian and Toree questions before. Oh well, ya never know. Bailey and Madison really enjoyed watching the planes take off while we were waiting. But when it was time to board, Madison really clung to Toree and cried her little eyes out - as did Toree. On the way back to the car, we rode in the first car of the train. The kids were loving it until it was coming up toward Baggage Claim and they could see the lights of the other car that was about to turn around and go the other way. Bailey hid behind the little seat and Madison held on to me and closed her eyes, barely peeking! Even after I showed Bailey that the car was moving somewhere else, he decided to stay hidden. Moo just sat there right in the window - fascinated. When we stopped and were about to get off, Bailey stands up and says confidently, "Now this train will go the other way like the other one did."

Well, we are back home and Madison is really missing those two - as am I.
