The bags are packed

Well… Sary-Jo spent four days in labor with Sarah and three days with Janel.  Now the boys seem to be continuing that pattern (metaphorically speaking).

After checking in for our flights very early this morning, we were next in line at security when we got “the phone call” that we did not want to receive.  One of the medical tests is causing a delay with one of the boys and at this time we don’t know if the delay will be a matter of days or of weeks.  For now, we are thankful that we got the call before we boarded a flight and that United Airlines was able to retrieve our checked luggage (and they did it with a smile).

We’re going to try to reschedule our departing flight to later this week.  If we receive the “all clear” by Friday we’ll travel Saturday and return on the original itinerary.  If, however, the delay turns out to be longer we’ll have to reschedule the whole thing.  Obviously our preference is that we can still travel this week so we can get the boys home.  But God is in control and we believe He has a reason for everything.  We might not ever learn what that reason is, but that doesn’t diminish His goodness toward us!

For now, we need to reschedule our flights and take a nap.
