En el Avion a Barcelona vía Francfort

Well, Rj tried to sign on and write a quick post while we were at PDX to show how connected we are in the modern world but we started boarding too soon and he didn't have time.

We got to board first, Yeah! Because now we have a small child traveling the world with us. After we got on board we found out what the universal language is. Some of you may be thinking mathematics of course or maybe physics. Nope, it's video games, at least for little boys. The boy on the left speaks English, Spanish & Italian. The boys tried to talk to each other but as you can imagine it didn't work out so well, until they found the common language of gameboy advanced.

This post is actually coming to you real time from the Airplane (Avion) via seats 32D and 32E, four hours into our flying time. Rj Needs to get his laptop back so he can Work, he can't be away from his email longer then a few hours or he has withdrawls and thinks that things will spiral out of control if he doesn't monitor what's going on. He did unwind a bit and have a couple very tasty German beers on the flight over.

Carter has been traveling very well. He was out cold for the take off and he has fussed a few times here and there but for the most part is happy. He took a nap and ate and then played and ate again, you get the idea of his schedule.

ciao for now...

Hey you guys!

So glad that you're enjoying your Lufthansa flight - they are really great to fly (at least the few times we've been able to enjoy their German hospitality).

Glad to hear that Carter is doing well on the flight...at least at the time of your post. You guys seem great with him so it should be no sweat for such good folks to manage him even if he does get a little fussy.

I must admit that I'm a little jealous of your trip. Being over in another land is something that I just want to get back to. Until then, my next best option is coming back to your blog and living vicariously through you all! So live it up...enjoy...and keep on posting!

Blessings to you all on your first international trip as a family of three!

PS - I've got the group blogging link almost ready to go now on ColumbiaRidge.org, so I'll be sending out an invitation to check it out (and thus, your trip) tomorrow in a church-wide update email.

Oh boy, it looks as if your trip has gotten off to a great start! I hope you are having a wonderful time, and keep up the blogging as much as you can (when you aren't out there soaking in the wonderfulness of you vacation).
