I spent the whole day doing a run to O'Hare Airport. Caroline left yesterday to visit Aunt Kim and Uncle Jer and Elise in Memphis for the week. It was the first time she ever flew alone. She was SSSSOOOOO excited and scared all at once. So was I. I was all cool about it til we stood in line at the ticket counter for 45 minutes among a throng of zillions of people. Then I started to panic! "What are we doing? Putting our 8 yr old girl on an airplane ALL ALONE?!?!" Once we got her checked in it was easy. AA was great~yes, Jer, they really do take care of your minor! But it took 2 hours to get there, almost 3 hours at the airport, and then almost 2 hours home. Pretty much the whole stinkin' day. Evening was taken up with VBS at church~or as the girls call it "BBBBBBS"
I will post Amelia's birthday post later this afternoon. . .I hope.

You are a brave Mama! Hope she has a GREAT time with Aunt Kim! How fun to hang out with her all alone for a week! :)
It's times like these that it so nice to have trust in God! Hope your brave girl is having a great time!
oh my goodness - you ARE brave - both Caroline & mom and dad! Have fun!
Wow! I know I was an advocate for this trip but when push comes to shove, I would be a nervous wreck too...cudos to you and Caro for being so brave!
