Birthdays and Casseroles

We had a scare...fright...tightening of the chest moment about our travel yesterday.

One of our kids birthday years is a couple years off according to what we and our agency think is true (did you follow that?!?). We wondered if we should postpone travel to get the kinks worked out first.

But we are forging ahead! We are still leaving Friday!! Thank you, Lord! Here we come, kids!

That's the birthday part.

Here's the casserole part! Friends have asked what our kids like so they can bring meals. Which, by the way, it is so incredibly nice to have the responsibility of food taken off our shoulders (my shoulders) for a while.

Our kids are regular kids for the most part. But for the most part we don't cater to them. Don't like broccoli? Eat a few bites. I'll make sure we have mashed potatoes in the same meal cuz you love them. Don't like tavern? Tonight we're having tavern (sloppy joes for those not from this area).

My only advice...avoid too much onion and celery. But don't worry too much about it.

Thanks again so much to everyone for all your support and help!
