After my last post I have been asked why we all the way to Dave's parents house instead of to other homes that may have been closer... So, I wanted to give the "Imposition Rule." The rule states that first you bother parents, then siblings, then friends, then neighbors. So should your neighbor be a good friend or relative, then you can go to a closer home in times of need. If parents or siblings are far away, say, in Switzerland or Utah, they are at the very bottom of the list. So, our line was as such Tarbets first, Trent and Jane second (sibling with bigger house in the area), Danielle thrid (sibling with smaller house), and nice friends/neighbors who offered. So, no one needs to feel bad, we were just following the imposition rule.

I still think you should have booked a flight to Switzerland--the imposition rule states, parents first, then in-laws. Maybe Vivian and Gary would have helped pay for it and thought the expense was worth it to keep 3 kids out of their house (just kidding-you have wonderful, darling children), Love, Mom
