The trip over.

Here is Jake running to say goodbye to my Dad.

This is a baby room that they had available in the Amsterdam airport which gave us a nice break before we caught the third and final plane on the trip over. We left for the Tupelo airport at 3:00 p.m. Thursday and we arrived at Gran and Granpa's around 6:00 the next Evening (Friday). The time here is six hours ahead, so once you subtract that it was a 22 hour adventure! It wasn't as bad as I worried it might be as they both slept on the main flight over. The children still haven't adjusted to the time difference and I don't think the long daylight hours are helping. I remember crying because Mom was making me go to bed and it was still light outside as it stays light until about 11 at night and even then doesn't get nearly as dark as it does at home. It also gets light very early in the morning, but people tend to sleep in over here (which we are enjoying) so we haven't woken at 3 or 4 to see exactly what time the sun is rising!
