Back in the US

Friends,

So we've made it back to the US with almost all of our luggage and sanity intact. We're still missing a suitcase, two bags, a $200 stroller and any real sense of where we currently are living. I'll go back to the airport this morning and see about the bags. Hopefully going there in daylight might help the more geographic problems.

Atticus, it must be said, was just amazing. He had his squirmy moments on the planes but really didn't have much in terms of tantrums. He didn't run away at the airports and despite throwing up on Nana as we waited for our bags at our final destination, was a gem.

Now the tasks before us include renting a car for the next few days, setting up our cells so you all can call us, getting those remaining bags, and, oh yeah, Christmas.
We'll look at relocating after the new year so if anybody knows of an available (cheap) house and has a need for us to be near them, let us know.

I'm thinking Kevin Moon party sometime in February.

Springfield is better. (sorry Gretchen) I guess Rochester is okay. It's still close. And hey, John and I go to church with a realtor. We don't have a clue but I'm sure he would.

Welcome back . . . and, wow, the overwhelming vote looks like Springfield . . . When you say you need a house, do you mean to buy or to rent? St. Jude is raffling off one of those large, ridiculous houses right here in Urbana next month. Wouldn't that be a strange turn of events for you . . . (tickets are $100 a pop.) C-U is a nice place to be. It's a little transient, though with all the U of I folks and all. We think it's pretty great, though.

Please remember the Henrys for any potential Kevin Moon gatherings.
