Jet Setters

For any of you who don't know, Brad and Leiden took off to Amsterdam on 4/11. Here's Mimi taking them to the airport for Miriam 4/11/10:



Leiden and Brad when we dropped them off. Leiden was very excited. Mac wasn't quite sure why she wasn't getting to go on a plane, and talked about getting on an airplane and going to the 'orport' for days afterward. I was gearing myself up for a week in this apartment without them and feeling kind of weird about the whole thing. They were going to be gone until the following Saturday, and I already had all kinds of plans for their return. POTD 4/11/10:



And then this happened on Wednesday.



Brad and Leiden are stuck over there in Amsterdam. Flights on Delta appear to be cancelled through 4/20 at least, and they non-revved over there, so they are flying standby. We're not really sure at all when we'll see them again. Brad over there and us here in the States appear to be getting very different reports, so it's impossible to know.

On the upside, Leiden has been behaving very well for Brad, although we're waiting for the homesickness to set in. She has had a great time there, but any day now we're worried she'll just wake up and want to come home. At any rate, Brad and Leiden are in a much better situation than many people stranded over there. But keep them and us in your prayers--we miss Daddy and they miss Mommy!
