Four More Sleeps!!!

Not that I'm able to sleep these days. It's more like four more times I put my head on a pillow and start analyzing the packing list. I eventually fall asleep. Then I wake up and do the same thing to the "to do" list. My monkey brain is in full swing.
But whatever it is, there are only FOUR more of them before we leave!!!! I'm hoping to get our In China itinerary today.

I think I have all the major errands done. I still need to make copies of some documents that we are taking. And we still have to install the carseat. We will do that today so we can have it inspected at the firestation on Monday.

This weekend we will do a trial run of getting everything packed. LuLu's clothes and supplies are packed. I've been making piles of our stuff. By the looks of it, when I am done with LuLu's stuff and my stuff, poor Jon is going to have an outside pocket of the suitcase left. And maybe a small inside pocket.

Oh, and I still have some thank you notes to finish. If you haven't gotten a thank you note from me, I promise I'm not an ingrate. It's coming.

Isn't it a wonderful feeling??? I don't know how the sleep happens - but that's what coffee is for, right?

Trust me whatever you pack you will forget something and have WAY to much of something else!
Are you going to be able to post while you're in China....Can't wait to follow your trip.

We are hoping to post from China. Blogger will probably be blocked from posting directly but we have a couple of alternative ways to post and a friend back home that will post for us from emails if needed. Of course it all involves technology so we will see. We are also going to skype with my parents so you could always go camp out at their house :) Give Clark and Grace a hug from me.

Can't believe that just before I opened this up I was wondering if it was even possible for you 2 to get any sleep..
