CONFIRMED TRAVEL DATES

Its been a whirlwind of a day, a week for that matter. Today K emailed to confirm our CA and travel dates. We will depart on 11-6 and return 11-21. On top of making flight reservations we had to deal with the seating chart. We first saw when we tried to do our online seat assignments that the long leg of our trip, a mere 13 hours and 20 min there were no 3 or even 2 seats together. We cannot have a 7 yo sitting by herself. I called NW and they very happily gave us 3 seats together!! So on both of the long flights we have 3 seats together, and on the 2 & 4 hours flights both ways only 2 seats are together. We are hoping once on board there may be availability or maybe someone will exchange seats, which they gladly may when they see they get to sit by a 7 yo and a 12 month old:) It is bittersweet joy as we wish our boys were coming with us. I am already missing them so much. It was our hope that our youngest 2 boys would be coming. However they feel that they cannot miss 12 days of school in high school. Our oldest 2 boys are in college and cannot miss. I do think they are a bit excited with having the house with no parents though. Between family, neighbors, and people from our church I know they'll be well watched over and loved.
