9.30am; Albany New York. They finally found the must- have sleep partner ( a soft giraffe puppet) and departure for Illinois!
Meanwhile,, in Kankakee preparations were under way. New inflatable bed from Target (oh how we love an excuse to tar-jay) all set up in basement suite that has been Greta proofed as much as possible. Booster chair ready at the table. Toy box moved upstairs to living room, etc.
A check in at 7 pm found the Seinna in Cleveland with smaller inhabitants being put into PJs for the night. The grown ups in Kankakee decided an early bed time was in order also, so Dotty disappeared upstairs at about 7, I did a few more chores and made it to sleep around 8.
At the stroke of 1 am the van began its silent unloading. Dog quietly let out in yard with Keto and they both came back in to bed without any noise. Amelia on Daddy's shoulder transported to Nana's bed and Mom took a surprisingly quiet Greta downstairs.
Nana climbed back in bed with Amelia; Keto joined them and all fell back to sleep easily.
It is now 5.30 am and the foyer is piled high with their stuff so Erich must have unloaded everything before he went up to spare room for hopefully a full 8 hours of sleep having just driven straight thru from Albany.
Now Nana has only a trip from St. Louis to worry through and all her chickees will be together for Thanksgiving. What a gift!
