The night before departure
At the Kelly home the girls are packed and the excitement is high! Moonbeam and Cassiopeia are going on the world tour together! Their older sister Killashandra promised to go to Michigan in a few weeks so they will be traveling all by themselves like big girls. Mom and Dad pull out the digital camera for some last minit snapshots for Cass and Moon to bring with them.
	Momma Minx and Daddy getting silly in their Rennfaire Garb. Mommy says daddy is a rogue and a scoundrel. i don't know what those things are but they must be good because she likes Daddy and he smiles when she calls him those things. He calls her Minx so much even Grandma Kelly calls her that now. Mommy only gets called Colleen when she gets in trouble. It's funny that grownups can get in trouble too.
Mommy makes sure to give her girls enough kisses for the next few months. Even Killashandra gets extra hugs and kisses. Mommy says you can never have too many hugs and kisses!
Killashandra is the oldest, 7 years old and in a special gifted program at school. She likes math a lot and has a kitty named Sushi. Moon and Cass are twins and even mommy and daddy won't say who was born first. Daddy says Cassie's hair is just like his, but nobody knows if Moon and Shandra's hair is like mommy's because mommie's hair changes so often!
Daddy has the longest softest hair of ANYONE. It's even longer than mommy's hair and she pulls his ponytail a lot to get his attention. He calls us all his 4 best girls.
Daddy says we are a handful, but then how come he needs both hands to hold us all? He loves to tickle us! Cassie is the mostest ticklish!
Moon starts getting nervous and scared about being so far away from Mommy and Daddy but Mommy whispers a song to her about wishing on the star no matter how far away they are...and she feels much better.
	The twins slip into their brand new jammies and are just too excited too sleep. They stay up into the wee hours talking about all the cool places they get to see, including Italy! Finally they cannot keep their eyes open any longer!
After the twins leave for the airport Mommy comforts Shandra. Her kitten will have to keep her company til her sisters come home.
