Packed and ready (Almost)...

We made our list and checked it twice, three times, four times... OK, so we're a little uptight. We are trying to pack two weeks worth of stuff for two adults, one child and one baby in two suitcases and a carry on. Knowing the tight weight restrictions on international flights, we decided to do a trial run this weekend. We got everything packed with room (and pounds) to spare, but not a lot to spare! We decided to go ahead and leave everything packed since it is all warm weather clothes (good thing there are irons in the hotel rooms). That is one less thing now to worry about (other than all the odds and ends still to be bought, made, laundered, etc.).

Megan is excited about "Trunk or Treat" this coming Friday. She is dressing up as a friendly ghost even though she has no idea who Casper is. We attended her first Fall Festival at Tate Elementary school this past Saturday. We got to meet her classmates, teachers and even watch the principal kiss a pig. We went down the "Haunted Hall," which was pretty scary and Megan loved it. She even helped one her little friends get through.

I am doing my best this week to prepare the office for my absence. If all goes well, we will have our best sales performance of the year and they will kick me out for weeks at a time more often :)

This will be a busy week of wrapping up details and making final preparations. We hope that two weeks from tonight, we will be cuddling our new baby! We continue to covet your prayers and will keep you posted as we get closer to the "Big Day".

Peace
Matt
