..on a jet plane..

"I'm leavin' on a jet plane," was Derrick's tune this morning. Except we think we know when he'll be back again. Things seemed to go smoothly as the Ethiopia Work Team left this morning. They arrived in Chicago without an problems and we won't have phone contact with Derrick again until they get back to the states. They do have a blog, if you'd like to follow:
Madison & Breanne had their own tunes to sing this morning. They were excited about the Halloween parties in their classes. Madison's school wasn't allowing kids to dress up, but she did get to dress in her favorite team apparel. Isn't she an awesome Viking? She even has the blonde braids! She's wearing Derrick's old jersey.
Last weekend we carved our jack-o-lanterns. This is a super exciting endeavor for a 4 & 5-year old. And it may be less than thrilling for a 1-year old. We made them clean out SOME of their own "guts" and they got to draw their own faces. Breanne's ended up with a face and legs. Madison's has a mustache and a beard ("may I help you?")
