last few Ohio days

What we thought was going to be a week with my parents turned into a much shorter time when we found out that the plane would leave on the 4th of Jan instead of the 7th. Ugh! Instead of relaxing I've been frantically packing up christmas gifts and contacting people to help us at both ends of the journey once again. Mom has been trying to spend some extra time with the kids while I pack to get us ready to get on the road.
