Travel Arrangements Complete

Dan completed our reservations at Romeo's this morning over the phone. We are flying out on Tuesday, the 17th and should arrive in Tallinn Wednesday evening. Dan will be celebrating his birthday on Thursday. He will be missing out on his mom's amazing carrot cake, but I'll do my best to come up with something yummy. Isn't there a bakery near the apartment? The Hills(another RR family) will be in Tallinn adopting their two adorable little boys. They will also be celebrating a birthday. We are hoping to get together. Even if we don't manage it, it is nice to know they will be there, too. I am so happy for them, and I would love to meet James Marcus and Dallas Aleksander.:)

It took alot of searching, but we finally managed to find an affordable return flight that did not have a 15-hr. overnight layover in Amsterdam. We still have a long layover(7+hrs.), but it is during the day. We can deal with that. Unfortunately, we have to return on the 22, which is Connor's birthday. We were hoping to come home on the 21st, but it was way more expensive. Sorry, Connor, buddy!Actually, he may have more fun at Auntie Kim's. She really knows how to have fun.:)

Already, "to-do" lists and questions are popping into my head, but I am pushing them aside. Today, I am just going to savor the moment. I still can't believe this is real!
