Wed. 7/23 - update

It's been a LONG day!! We flew to Dallas, picked up Todd...and then off to Houston. Everyone did fine on both flights. Caed however barely made it through security.....ha! At the Lubbock airport, he had to be taken "aside".....while 2 men in uniform (with gloves on)....did a full body check. You should have seen the look on his face. Poor guy. They were being very nice and I told them there might be an "extra" amount of anxiety with him because of all he has recently been through. Then they had to take his backpack (G-feedings) off to be examined further. It was kinda funny. I totally understand and appreciate their cautiousness, but......a 4 yr. old boy with a medical condition?? I even lifted up Caed's shirt and showed them where the G-tube was going in. You should have then seen the look on THEIR faces!!! They let him go very quickly after that.

We finally made it to Edna (SW of Houston) around 8ish. We are definitely seeing the effects of Dolly. Drove through some pretty ugly rain bands. Anyway.....it's cooler here than usual which is always nice, but we still feel the "all too familiar humidity". ugghhh!!

Not sure what all we have planned for tomorrow (other than rehearsal tomorrow evening). Can't wait to see some more familiar faces!!!!

**THANK YOU SO MUCH Roger, Tina, Greg, & Kristie for all the ways you've helped!! HUGE blessing! We love you so very much!

Ugh. I feel bad for poor Caed and the security stuff. Seriously... does he look like a terrorist? I have seen them make a very old lady who could barely stand get out of a wheelchair for a body check. I thought she would fall down the entire time. Sometimes the airport stuff is a little bit excessive. Glad you guys made a safe trip!!
