Great Aunt Leoni!

Today I got up at 4:30am got my wonderful husband up and out the door for work by 5:15am. On a typical day I will fall back asleep until like 7:30am or so! Well not today! Today I stayed up and got lunch together for Andrew and I, got the dogs ready for the day. I woke Andrew up a couple minutes before 7am and we were out the door by 7:05am. I dropped him off at Grandma and Grandpa Brooks house at 7:25am and was at my parents house by 8:10am. Then we got into the Hummer and headed to Seattle!

No we did not go to Seattle to play we went to Seattle to drop them off at the airport. They are headed to the Netherlands as we speak. They will get there at like 8am thursday and it is only a 10 hr flight! I don't think that I would enjoy feeling like I am traveling for 24 hrs. Oh and being awake that long UGH...

They are headed to the Netherland / Holland to go and see my great aunt Leoni. It is kind of an emergency trip. Leoni has been sick for about 4 years I think... She has Lung Cancer. She was diagnosed at about the same time as my Grandfather - her brother. She is in the hospital over there waiting to see my parents and then after that she wants to die. She has beat cancer 3 times I guess that the 4th time just gets you bad. I don't think that this will be a particular fun trip for my parents.

So now after 5 hours of driving I'm back at my parents house and just need a little time to stand up and walk around.

Aunt Leoni you will be missed dearly. I love you and it was great getting to know you.
