The goodbyes are said and although it was extremely hard to leave our family...
The day has finally come for our big move and along with our 13 checked bags and everyone's carry-on's we were on our way! My brothers Allen and Matt took us to the airport and we were thankful to have had a smooth check-in and flights. I was very nervous about the whole day but all went smoothly and the kids were beyond excited about the new adventure of moving to Central Asia.
The little birdie must have wanted to fly on an airplane too!
Karis and Brayden have flown before but it was when they were under 2 so neither of them really remember it. They were all excited about flying even with it being before the sunrise!
We flew into Chicago into SNOW! It was beautiful!
We had to get creative with how to spend our LONG layovers...
Even daddy painted Karis' fingernails...what a sweet daddy!
The kids were all troopers zooming through the airports!
Metro rides...
Early flights and long layovers mean one thing...naps!!!
Ready for the 9 hour overnight flight across the big pond...
No Lucy the earplugs aren't used for putting on makeup!
Sleeping arrangements for our crew got interesting and just for the record if you get desperate enough you do crazy things like lay on the airplane floor!
Or the three of us laying pretzel like in our 3 seats haha!
When mom and dad are exhausted and can't nap, you resort to large amounts of caffeine...
Next up...we arrive to our new home!
