Preparations

First some baking. Can't leave them without some comfort food!

Not a lot of room to pack it in but there are enchiladas and fresh (now frozen) baked bread, spaghetti sauce, cookies galore, milk, lots of mozzarella (because that's what Americans live on) and more...

No shorts, no tanks, no showing the collar bone. What's a girl to wear?

Fitting some lap time in though he barely fits there anymore.

The reading list. Always a difficult task... did I bring the right ones? Will I be tired of these and wish I had others? Am I bringing too many? Not enough?

I will miss these blurry curls (which is usually how they look in real time too)

... and sweet sad eyebrows

and my rumble tumble boys

and Blue Eyes. 

Leaving tomorrow!
