Its almost time to go now. It seemed so far away, and suddenly its only a few more days. We had a slight snafu with our travel plans this weekend - our flight from Philadelphia for Thursday was cancelled - but we were able to re-book on a flight out of Baltimore. This is due to the issues at Heathrow Terminal 5, which just opened. The baggage handling system is not working as it should and people aren't getting their bags - I guess its good our flight had to be changed - we will be flying into a different terminal.
Yesterday, two of my friends hosted a party for us at our empty house. Friends from school and dance class attended, as well as some close family friends. It was a nice gathering with some good food! They presented me with a recipe box full of recipes from our Lancaster friends - thank you to all who contributed! It will be so nice to be reminded of all of you over the years as I look for something to make for dinner.
After the party, we went to my parents' house in Chambersburg for a final pre-move visit. We had already said good-bye to them on Easter Monday, so we had to say good-bye to them a second time. The kids always enjoy their time there - my parents live in the country and have a John Deere Gator that Ben loves to drive (on Daddy's lap). Its a nice, relaxing place to visit.
Now its Sunday night and we are getting ready for our last week at preschool, and our final preparations for our trip. I still have to get everything we want to bring packed up, and figure out how to get rid of everything else in our house. Mostly leftover toys. I suppose it will be good to keep busy until we leave. After this moving experience, I may never go shopping again!
