We finally made it through security and I looked up and took a quick picture.  Before heading through one more security check (if you can even call it that) I wanted to head upstairs to the gift shop to get a flag for Frankie’s room.  On my way I passed a guy holding a Haitian boy…

I just asked Dave to sum up in 6 words or less how he is feeling right now.  Feeling at Home away from Home was his answer.  I’ll post a lot of thoughts when we get home but it’s been a fantastic trip so far and I can’t even begin to tell you how important/good/amazing…

(I’m still waiting on Wendy to get me a picture of us together when she downloads it.  Until then this one will have to do.) This past Saturday Wendy and I completed our half marathon that we’ve been training for the past few months.  It was a good race.  I felt really good.  The anticipation…
