Getting ready for home

A week from now we will be sitting (actually we should be sleeping) in NI (D.V.). This week has been tying up loose ends and beginning to think about what we need to pack.

Unfortunately Tabitha took sick on Tuesday morning and ran a high temperature for a couple of days. She seems to be much better now after a few good sleeps and fever reducing medicine. We're not sure what caused it. Perhaps the incredible heat that we are experiencing. We were so delighted to see some rain and thunderstorms which brought the temperature down. We're not sure how we are going to adjust to the cold at home though we are hearing that temperatures are rising (to what we hope will create a less traumatic change!).

We hope to leave our house at 6am on Thursday morning and should be home about 22-23 hours later. We would so appreciate your prayers for our health in the coming days and for a safe journey. Please pray too particularly for Tabitha. Pray that she will be able to sleep on the planes and would be able to cope with the long journey. We've been planning plenty of activities to keep her busy when she is awake but it will require plenty of prayer to get us through!

We now have Oscar's British passport so the only other thing we need is his British birth certificate. There was some problem with misunderstanding what Andrew had written on the application form which he didn't find out until he went to pick up the passport. Please pray that it will come in time before we leave. Another praise is that we got our renewed visas back last week which will make re-entry in Mexico much easier.
