The BEST part is no matter how unorganized you feel, you are leaving very soon!!! So awesome that you are taking the whole family. My oldest still talks about when we are planning to go back.

I am impressed with your packing. I will probably be that far the day before we leave. Organization is not my thing either. Funny how we have all these kids and still haven't figured that one out yet.
So excited for you all. Would love to pass in the airport or something.

We'll be praying for travel mercies for your family! (And, I don't believe that organization isn't your thing - look at those pictures!) :)
