The last week of mother of one...

Finishing up some last minute projects. I am not sure how cleaning the garage fell on my priority list. I think I am doing anything to keep busy this week. We are trying to arrange our trip and Chris thinks it would be interesting to not stay at an Americanized hotel in Moscow and experience the culture by staying in a Russian hotel. He calls this a fun adventure. I am not sure what I call it at this point. It isn't like Garrett can translate for us... yet.

Jordan is excited about being a big sister. She shows us how big she is by standing on her tippy toes... at the same time she is asking for a bottle. (She saw me packing bottles for Garrett). She is SO excited to be heading up to my sisters in Charleston, SC. We have been buying presents for their newest addition. Ssssssssssssstella (the dog)! Jen may get more help than she bargined for.

We are still scheduled to leave on St. Patricks day. Hard to believe we are down to the last week. It is amazing how much is involved in this process. Won't stop us from spending the day swimming though. Hey, we all have to have our priorities!

I have some pics of Garrett on my desk at school. Several people have commented that he looks like Chris - brown eyes, same shaped face! I just can't wait to meet him!!! Mum
