Should be sleeping

Making sure I am prepared as the team leader and that our home is ready for those who are coming to care for our 4 precious children while we are away has kept Kathy and I up way too late. We will be at the church in about 2 hours so I am not sure if we will get any sleep or not. That's okay, there is always time for sleep tomorrow or the day after that. Well, eventually we will sleep. Part of the reason we are still up is today was spent on the kids. I had to work, but Kathy took the little gigglers to the Henry Ford Museum then they stopped by my office (only 5 minutes away). This evening was spent at Red Robin and Build a Bear celebrating Emily's third birthday which arrives Monday, the 15th while we're away. She was very excited to build her stuffed sheep. I made a last minute purchase (neck pillow, for sleeping on plane!) at Brookstone which was next door to Build a Bear. We are going to dearly miss Megan, Cole, Kaleigh and Emily. Please pray for them as well as us. Megan (10 yrs. old) was having a difficult time and worried about our safety. She is sweet, smart and excited for us, but also sad about being apart. Please also be praying for Dr. Dan Urbine and his wife Jennie. Dan is the Medical Team Leader. They are also trusting God as they leave young children behind: Anna, Zach & Madelyn. Hard to believe we are heading to the airport in a couple of hours. Will keep you posted.
