Well, it’s our turn. Tomorrow we’re going to attempt to take the twins to St. Louis to visit their grandpa and meet their great-grandmother. Are we insane? Probably, yes.

We’re lucky that my sister Lauren and her girlfriend Morgan are saints. They agreed—no, actually, they volunteered—to come with us so we’d have some extra adults to help carry babies, luggage, and whatnot on the trip. Thanks to their help and careful planning, I’m worried, but not struck dumb with terror, about how tomorrow will go.

Nonetheless, if you want to send good vibes to us and the other, unsuspecting, passengers on American flight 5345, that would be appreciated.
