Kelly's house (see below for the beginning of the saga)

Despite having this unplanned trip we are having a very good time. Bryan and Kelly have been awesome about letting us crash and playing with the kids--it's almost like they are enjoying it as well ;-). Thursday we recovered from our crazy day prior and went grocery shopping and watched the national title game. Friday we hit a few stores and the library then had a party with Kelly and Bryan that night. Saturday Heather came down with a cold but we headed for Lowe's and built some fun free projects followed by some football watching and playing by Charlie and Bryan. Today we took it easy--Heather has gone through 2 tissue boxes in the past 24 hours which has to be some sort of record! I've made tentative plans but we are going to try to get out on a rotator through Norfolk on Tuesday night. Fingers and toes crossed! Big thanks to Kelly and Bryan for letting us crash at their place!
