We're almost on our way again

Wow, our time has flown by! It's crazy to believe that we are leaving tomorrow morning! I will actually have a lot easier time saying goodbye this summer than last summer, because I haven't gotten nearly as attached to as many children as I did last year. I did get to see five of my children from last year, which was awesome! I loved seeing how much bigger they are, how much they've grown, and how further along developmentally they are!
I'm sure more of us will have final thoughts later, but I thought I'd give a quick run-through of what our day will be tomorrow, so you can know how to better pray for us at different points of the day.
We are leaving the orphanage at 6:00 tomorrow morning. Yup, that's going to be early. Some of us will have a really hard time walking/driving away from these kids, some of us will just have a hard time waking up in time. Our flight is supposed to be leaving Port-au-Prince by 9:05. We're hoping it leaves on time- that'd be nice. We have a four hour lay over in Miami though, so if we have some delays, we'll be okay. We have to make it through Immigrations in Miami, reclaim our suitcases, go through customs, recheck our bags, and then wait for our flight. We leave Miami hopefully at around 4:00, and should get to Chicago at around 6:15. Our rides should be there by then, so we can grab our suitcases, and load our smelly selves into the vans and drive home. It'll be a long day.... Prayers for smooth and on-time flights would be very much appreciated!
Thank-you for all of your support and prayers! Unless if someone else posts tonight or tomorrow morning, the next time we post will be from Michigan!
