Pack my bags... all 14+ of them

The time has FINALLY come... after knowing for over a year that we were moving to England, it was time to pack the bags... 12 suitcases, 2 boxes, 4 carry-ons, and 1 over-sized bunny!
A good-night's rest before the big trek...
And then it was on to our own 747 to London!
Ok, it wasn't "ours," but when each of the five of us had our own row to lay down on, it just about was our own plane...
Tim thinks Ryann dreams of touchdowns...
We arrived in one terminal and had to schlep our baggage to another terminal to catch our bus... what do you do when you have over 1,000 pounds of luggage that fits (barely) onto four push carts? Did we mention a bit of jet-lag as well? Start pushing girls!!
Tally and Adayla each pushed one of the carts, while Ryann pulled a small suitcase on wheels the entire way. We navigated through two elevators and four ramps, necessitating that we split the team at times... Adayla & Tally would wait at the top/bottom of the ramp while Mom, Dad and Ryann pushed their carts through the ramp, then Tim went back for one of the two remaining carts, then the other cart and the two girls.
The bus came an hour after we arrived at the platform and we were on our way to our new home... now to find the house we'll call home!

How much fun can a family have that has so much fun together. You make me jealous. Some people whine when they have to move. Not the Kuehnes, they love it. Youer girls get more beautiful every time that I see them. You too parents.
