I think that was the day when I, as carpool driver, left one kid behind at his home and forgot another one completely. It's really great to be able to hear what's going with all of youJulie Boumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822894745572000115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867736623007146777.post-77490082260188934882008-01-11T12:22:00.000+00:002008-01-11T12:22:00.000+00:00Wow - what an ordeal!

We're looking forward to meeting up with you sometime in the next few months.

We all came down with a virulent flu on the flight, but Klaas was affected more than most, and on the way from Schiphol Airport to my cousins' house in Haarlem we had to pull over more than once and rush him over to the side of the road to expel more of his lunch (what little still remained). Both of my kids were keeping a journal of the trip, and Klaas let cousin Wouter read what he had written. "Excuse me, Klaas," he said, "you are using English vocabulary that is too advance for me. What is 'barf'?"David Hoekemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06966123527168998601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867736623007146777.post-51596409366003024552008-01-08T06:30:00.000+00:002008-01-08T06:30:00.000+00:00Dee's Anne-Lamottish take on our trip here is a cl...Dee's Anne-Lamottish take on our trip here is a classic example of being able to laugh about something AFTER you've gone through it. Truth be told, we were both crying at some point in the airport while we were being held in the "deportation" area. But thanks be to God for another surprise!James K.A.
