well, we made it. with the dog. 2 kids, 1 dog and one crazy mommy. after a one-hour delay at the doctor's office on monday, we finally made it out of town at 10:30am. at 12:30 jasper had a melt-down. at 1:00 we stopped for lunch and i was sure we'd never make it to topeka before the next day. but, we forged on and made our goal by about 8:45-9pm on monday night. i was never so glad to get to the hotel and we got all checked in, loaded in our stuff with jasper in the stroller, annie sleep-walking and ferris pulling at his leash only to find out we were on the 2nd floor of a hotel with no elevator. what?! don't ask. i don't know. we ended up downsizing to a one-bed room on the first floor but it was fine. ferris only woke me up twice to go outside and still he didn't actually pee until the real morning. sigh.
we hit the road again at 8am yesterday morning and made it to the farm by 1:30 so we made great time. jasper didn't even have diaper rash when we got here. heee heee.
we survived the 50 degree temperature change and donned all our new winter gear today for the first time. 27 degrees on the midwestern prairie today. yowser! that sure does feel cold when you don't get to ease into it. course, it was in the 60s here til we arrived, so sounds like no one got to ease into anything. annie keeps talking about the snow, so we're hoping to see a little of the white stuff while we're here. i'm fine with it as long as it's good and clear by the time we have to hit the road again.
we're off to pick addison up at the airport in an hour or so. if i don't get to post again before tomorrow (and i probably won't) i hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving. so much to be thankful for. shout out to my brothers and their families - neither of which are getting to make the trip home this thanksgiving. i guess i'll see you guys next year at christmas?! love you so much, hug yourselves for us.
