Ready to leave

We are less than 24 hours from leaving the US and heading to South Africa. This has been something that we hard been preparing for months and years.
We are grateful for the time we have had to get ready, time with friends, donors, supporters and family. Fun watching Keira have fun with all of you.
Chrissy was recently diagnosed with Mononucleosis (Glandular Fever) on Friday last week, which has been a real bummer. She has been really sick. The doctor saw her on Monday and put her on steroids which meant we needed to postpone the trip a day.
We are thankful we are still able to leave mostly on schedule and are looking forward to resting with my family in South Africa. We will be taking the first week at a vacation spot at a game reserve, a peaceful, slow paced place.
We just wish this added stress of Chrissy's illness could have been better timed. Now to make it through the rigours of long-haul international travel.

We miss you!!! Welcome to South Africa:) Nora and I had to watch Keira's video about 4 times. The more we watched it the harder she laughed. We love you and can't wait to hear from you. Hope you're feeling better Chrissy. Trevor, say hi to your mom for us.
