Altogether again

After a very late flight (11:30pm arrival) and not being able to find each other at the airport for almost an hour (due to me breaking away from the plan based on my thinking I had come up with a better plan -- aaaah, life without cell phones), we are finally all back on Ramstein and together as a family.

Daddy brought new cars for the boys "prize" (he's such a softy) and we all just enjoyed snuggling in bed this morning together, celebrating the fact that our time apart has basically come to an end. I'm headed up to Labor & Delivery to do my pre-op "stuff." It will be about 10am tomorrow that we get to finally meet the fifth (sixth counting Scrubby) member of our family. She's almost here!

Speaking of Scrubby, many people have asked how he is doing. He is doing fabulously. He has handled us being away with flying colors. JB gets home at lunchtime to play with him every day and Linda has brought Bonnie over to play with him quite a few times to help us well. She and Shane also watched him early on in this adventure.

Dan and Angelica that have really helped us out during this stretch of time! They have been watching our big pile of spots nearly full-time while we are gone. What a blessing that has been. God always provides. They used to have a big dog and have enjoyed having a part-time one. Oh and on Tuesdays, he hangs out at the house with Hatice while she cleans.

Unfortunately, he has been fighting an ear infection for about two months now. JB takes him to the vet every time he comes back into town, but it is still lingering. The vet and the vet tech did tell us though that they have never met a big dog that handled the vet better than Scrubs! That was nice to hear.

We hope to get to pet "Scrubsy" (as Elijah calls him) very soon. We are in the home stretch! We will be putting a post up on the blog sometime after Abigail's arrival. We estimate the photos will be up sometime in early afternoon to early evening Germany time -- which would make it early morning in the USA. Stay tuned. :)
